Hi there!

hello

#

the scenario where a payment fails and the 2 retries also fail to see what is returned back

Could you clarify what you mean by this? Do you mean what the webhook events for the payment failures would look like, or something else?

#

yeah basically it seems like enabling retries for ach means retries will trigger if the account has insufficient funds and wondering what the error that's returned is once all those retries are exhausted and still fail

#

or just also like how to test this scenario of exhausting retries

#

just doing some testing on my end

@cinder sonnet just to be sure we are talking about the same thing, you are looking at payment retries for Subscriptions right? Or something else?

cinder sonnet Oct 9, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

yeah

lime plume Oct 9, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

Then it'd work the same as card payments really. After all retry attempts have been exhausted then we will do whatever is the action you configured in your settings. The default is to cancel the Subscription

cinder sonnet Oct 9, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

okay and then what would the payment intent status be? just failed ?

lime plume Oct 9, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

It should be requires_payment_method at that point but it shouldn't really matter since at that point the underlying Subscription would be canceled and that's what you would use to reconcile its status with the data in your database

You can use https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks to simulate time advancing and go through the various retries and look up the related objects

#

what is the status then in the scenario that the first attempt to pull funds fails before the retries? for the payment intent but then the subscription is still active

lime plume Oct 9, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

likely requires_confirmation but the best way to know would be to try this end to end and confirm. I don't know of the top of my head sorry and I do not think the status really matters in this specific flow

cinder sonnet Oct 9, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

is there a way to know how many retries have happened / are left?

lime plume Oct 9, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-attempt_count tells you how many attempts were made. We don't show how many attempts are left in the API no
