sweet igloo
yes you can't attach a subscription to a payment_intent
steady knoll
ok thanks. Could you tell me what is the flow to do so ?
Do I have to do something particular when creating the payment_intent or after ?
thank you

You can simply create a PaymentIntent with the amoun of the latest invoice
steady knoll
Ok. How stripe will know that this payment is related to the invoice > subscription ?
sweet igloo
No there isn't an option.
In that case, you can use the PaymentIntent of the latest Subscription's invoice
Can you share an example Invoice Id ?
sweet igloo
ah ok! Even if this payment has previously failed ?
Yes that should be possible. checking the invoideId...
sweet igloo
Yes you can use the PaymentIntent pi_3Q0dT72ERkXzKdsi0MZgqbzd of that invoice in order to accept the payment
steady knoll
Just to be sure:
I can reuse this pi , get the client_secret to initialize a new payment form on the front end and the payment (if it passes) will handle the stripe subscription acordingly ?
sweet igloo
Yes I think it will pass in your use case. I invite you to make some tests.
steady knoll
ok I'll try, the documentation seems to indicate that payment_intent with final status (failed for instance) are not retryable.
Last thing, is there an easy way to create a user with a subscription having a failed payment on test environment ?

First you need to create a successful Subscritpion (for example, using the card 4242) using test clock
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks
then you need to update the default payment method to this one4000000000000341:
https://docs.stripe.com/testing#international-cards:~:text=The cards in the previous table can’t be attached to a Customer object. To simulate a declined payment with a successfully attached card%2C use the next one.
and then you advance the time to the next billing cycle, so a Failure Payment will be attempted
your can continue then testing your integration
