hi there!
having a look
if you look at the request you shared, you'll see you didn't set the trial_end parameter: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_wfB95pfHqM2Plc
can you share the code you used to try to end the trial?
sick herald
can you share the command you used?

i think it's a API Explorer problem

I typed now in trial_end and pressed Run
It's called API Explorer I think
sick herald
the line of code at the very bottom is just updating the subscription without setting any parameter. let me try to reproduce in workbench...
ornate cloak
seems like it is not working when you type now
sick herald
yep I managed to reproduce. it works with timestamp, but not "now".
I'll report that to the team, thanks for flagging!
in the meantime, you should be able to use the Stripe API, Stripe CLI, or the Stripe Dashboard itself to udpate the Subscription.
sick herald
sure, you can ask it here

There's a feature I need to implement. When customer a has signed up in our app on trial (without payment method) he/she can end a trial early by adding payment method, pay the subscription fee and then move to Active from Trailing. But I couldn't find a straight forward way to do this with Stripe. Can you help me design this flow from both client-side and server-side perspective?. Currently I am thinking of this workaround. User clicks a button and our backend (BE) will create a billing portal url where he/she can add payment detail. Then BE will wait for some event from Stripe (I couldn't find an event of "Payment details added") in order to call subscription update API with "trail_end"="now". Then stripe will automatically charge user's payment creds.
I also tried creating a Checkout Session but when customer pays. A new subscription is created instead of moving existing subscription to "active" which is not good I guess.

(I couldn't find an event of "Payment details added")
I recommend testing this in test mode to see the events triggered. but you should receive apayment_method.attachedevent
yes what you shared is an option.
I also tried creating a Checkout Session but when customer pays. A new subscription is created instead of moving existing subscription to "active" which is not good I guess.
that can't work, Checkout Session can only create a new Subscription, not edit an existing one. However you could use Checkout Session insetupmode instead of the Customer Portal to collect the Payment Method if needed.

What's the difference between using Checkout Session in setup mode and Billing portal way as both are collecting users' payment detail?
sick herald
it's a different UI, but the end result is the same.
