hi there!
how are you accepting payments? Checkout Session, Payment Element, something else?

Hello !
Checkout Session
sick plinth
and you are creating Subscriptions with the Checkout Session?
sick plinth
and now you want to update the Subscription with some additional options? Then you should read this: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade
raven jewel
I don't really want to create other Subscritpions.
Let's get an example :
A user wants to get a subscription to get premium features.
But he also want some addons to get even more premium features.
I can have the two products in the checkout session but if the user wants to update the addons he has, he has to cancel the whole subscription to renew one with the addons he wants :/

no, you keep the existing Subscription, and add/remove prices to it.
raven jewel
Hmm, so what would be the process ?
The user already has a subscription. He asks for 2 addons. I redirect him to the session checkout (containing the 2 addons). It creates a new subscription for the user ?
Then what ? If I am correct, the session checkout creates automatically the subscription and the user ends up with 2 susbcriptions.
sick plinth
not at all. did you read the link I shared with you?
raven jewel
I did (hopefully correctly). When am i suppose to update the subscriptions ? I mean in the process.
(Sorry if i might be a bit rude, my main language is not english)
sick plinth
- you create a Checkout Session to create the Subscription the first time
- then, you directly update the Subscription to add/remove price to the existing Subscription https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update
Checkout Session is only used to create a Subscription, you cannot update a Subscription with it.
raven jewel
Yeah but how do i make the user pay for the addons ?
sick plinth
when you update the Subscription, Stripe will either directly charge the user, or charge them when the next invoice is due.
raven jewel
Oh !
