Hello @fluid seal

#

Thanks for looking into my query

#

The Parameter is "trial_period_days"

fluid seal
thin bear
#

I am not creating a subscription

#

I am creating a recurring price to charge like a subscription

#

Becasue, we need to have three things

  1. Sign Up Fee
  2. Free Trial for n days
  3. Recurring payment for certain periods
#

2 & 3 are there in subscription, but 1 is not there

fluid seal
#

To be clear, Prices do not have trial_period_days

A recurring Price is always used with a Subscription. There is no concept of trial_period_days for one off payments i.e. non-recurring Prices.

#

Henec We are creating a product

and adding a fixed price as signup fee

Then a recurreing price for the rest

#

Yes

#

I am setting a recurring price object only

#

But I cant see a way to pass trial_period_days

#

while creating the recurring price

fluid seal
#

To reiterate, you cannot pass trial_period_days when creating the reccuring price because there is no such parameter on a Price

#

trial_period_days only exist and can only be used with a Subscription

thin bear
#

$recurring_price = Price::create([
'unit_amount' => $recurring_amount,
'currency' => $data->currency,
'recurring' => [
//'trial_period_days' => $data->customint2 / 86400,
'interval' => $interval[$data->customint4],
'interval_count' => $data->customint1,
],
'product' => $product->id,
]);

#

This is what I am doing now

#

HOwever as the param trial_period_days is there under recurring, I was trying to set

#

But its not accessible via set

#

its for return only

#

You can check the API doc

fluid seal
#

for your use case - you should create a Subscription with:

Create a subscription | Stripe API Reference

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

thin bear
#

The attribute is there "trial_period_days" under recurring

fluid seal
#

If you don't see the parameter in the creation API specs, then you can't pass it in during creation. What you're looking to do should be achievable with what I shared above when creating a Subscription

thin bear
#

See, I have a few products in my site, that have the recurring payment

#

I was trying to create products under Stripe too

#

Then charge from Stripe linked products

#

If any update occurs in my product, I was just updating the stripe linked product too

#

Thats how I was managing the thing

#

By creating subscription, I have to create the item price object customer specific while creating the customer specific subscription

#

Cant I get one way out to insert data in that attribute as its already there inside the object. Not sure why you kept that but not accessible

fluid seal
#

There's some legacy reasons for why that attribute exists on the Product. I don't have full context on that since it happened some time ago. I'm afraid there's no other workaround at the moment and the only way is what I mentioned above i.e. to do it on the subscription.

thin bear
#

In that case, I dont need to create any product on stripe

#

Just have to create customer specific subscriptions

fluid seal
#

You need a Product to create a Price

thin bear
#

Why

#

Subscription does require a customer only

#

It nowhere linked with the product

#

right?

fluid seal
#

you can try creating a Subscription and see how it works

thin bear
#

I am just asking for the right way of doing the thing

#

Also is this possible to tag someone senior here

#

Who may enable / give some wayout for trial_period_days parameter in price object

#

If its there, there might be some legacy ways too

#

That he / she might be aware of

#

I need some experts help here please

fluid seal
thin bear
#

@pseudo sleet could you please have a look here

fluid seal
#

Also, there is no way to enable trial_period_days for a Price object.

thin bear
#

I am following this way only

#

But cant find the way

fluid seal
#

can't find the way for?

thin bear
#

Could you please escalate this to some seniors

#

trial period setup

#

But via dashboard you are allowing this as leacy option

pallid sable
#

👋 Stepping in here. I'm the senior engineer in Stripe. Stripe Dashboard uses a different setup and this legacy feature is only limited to Dashboard, but not via API. I'm afraid there is no workaround to support trial_period_days on the price object as Alex mentioned.

thin bear
#

That means I cant create a recurring product via API

#

I can only setup customer specific subscriptions

fluid seal
#

yes, that's correct

thin bear
#

Then how I can see the sales by product

fluid seal
#

To be clear, you create a recurring Price. To create a recurring Price, it needs to have a Product
