I've tried to update the subscription setting trial_end: 'now' but the subscription was being cancelled straightaway

granite turret
#

Hi, let me help you with this.

untold sundial
#

a colleage last week suggest updating the subscription with trial_end: 'now' and get the pending_setup_intent

granite turret
#

the subscription was being cancelled straightaway
Do you know why is this happening? If you're collecting the PaymentMethod via Subscription's client_secret it will be charged for the Subscription's Invoices.

#

Or is the client_secret coming from the new Subscription you're creating?

untold sundial
#

while adding the subscription to the user for the first time, these are the settings I'm passing to stripe.subscriptions.create:

{
customer: customerId,
trial_period_days: 7,
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
payment_settings: {
save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription',
},
trial_settings: {
end_behavior: {
missing_payment_method: 'cancel',
},
},
}

#

The last parameter explains why it's cancelled when you end the trial.

untold sundial
#

yeah, I guessed that

#

I need the subscription to be cancelled after the trial if the user does't add their payment details

#

what's the best way to achieve this?

granite turret
#

That's already achieved, it seems. I understand that you actually need to not cancel it if the PaymentMethod is added, right?

untold sundial
#

yes, exactly

#

so :

  1. if the user does not add their payment details, the subscription is cancelled (done!);
  2. I need the trial to end and make the subscription Active if the user adds their payment details

#

Or is the client_secret coming from the new Subscription you're creating?

#

Where is the new PaymentMethod saved?

untold sundial
#

I'm using the stripe.confirmSetup on the frontend

#

I was trying to call stripe.subscriptions.update on the backend and get the client secret (from the pending_setup_intent suggested by your colleague) from that call and pass it to the stripe.confirmSetup

granite turret
#

Could you please share and example Subscription ID?

granite turret
untold sundial
#

sorry, but what should I fetch with the get? and where should I pass it? to the Elements options?

granite turret
#

Whenever you want to let a customer add their PaymentMethod, you can fetch the trialing Subscription by ID, grab the pending_setup_intent.client_secret and pass it to the Payment Element.

untold sundial
untold sundial
#

actually, no... you said to pass the secret to the Payment Element options?

#

or should I pass it to the stripe.confirmSetup()?

#

I'm really sorry for all the questions and really appreciate your help on this!

#

ok, I think I got it

#

last question to make sure I understand everything: the pending_setup_intent is created while creating the subscription for the first time, correct? then we just need to grab it to update the payment details before updating the subscription/ ending the trial and make it active

granite turret
#

Yes

untold sundial
#

ok

granite turret
untold sundial
#

ok, I'll have that in mind

#

thank you very much! I will try your suggestions

granite turret
#

Happy to help.

untold sundial
#

I believe there's no way to get back to this thread once closed so it's easier to recover the conversation?

#

in case I have further questions

granite turret
#

You will be able to view it, but you will need to create a new one if you have more questions. I might not be around at that time anyway.

untold sundial
#

yeah, of course! thank you once again, vanya
