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

I have this intent currently
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
amount: 1099,
currency: 'usd',
setup_future_usage: 'off_session',
customer: customer.id,
payment_method_types: ['us_bank_account'],
payment_method_options: {
us_bank_account: {
verification_method: 'microdeposits',
},
},
});
ACH debit and using my own UI with manually checking the micro deposits.

you would need to create a Subscription with one recurring price a one one-time price.
you can learn more about Subscription and ACH here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/ach-debit

Can't I do two thing at the same time ?
Both of these stripe.subscriptions.create and stripe.paymentIntents.create
placid iris
you can, but you run the risk of the customer having to go though two 3DS flow in a row.
it's much better to do that in a single payment if possible

Actually we want to take an upfront payment of x dollars and a subscription of y dollars. So we are showing a mandate of charging them both of these amount and charging them the upfront one time and scheduling the subscription from the next time. I know I can do subscription schedule but I want to do this together if possible in a same payment intent like this.
placid iris
I'm sorry I don't understand. what's your question exactly?
still basin
I want to charge
- $x amount upfront (one time)
- $y amount subscription (recurring)
I’m currently using payment intent with ACH debit to charge a customer one time.
But what I want right now is to add the second (2) functionality too. I can do subscription schedule with billing api I know but can I do both (1) and (2) with the same payment intent somehow.
placid iris
you want to do 1 and 2 at the same time? then use the solution I shared above. no need for subscription schedule.
still basin
Is it a recommended standard approach what I’m thinking? Or should we change the approach?
placid iris
it's very common to chage a one time price and a recurring one at the same time. that's why subscriptions support this.

happy to help 🙂
