What do you mean by 'requirement payment'?
Collect payment info even if there's nothing to pay?
proud flint
if you open a session, and make the cost free, it doesn't require the user to supply their payment details
exactly!
primal iron
Got it, you can configure that yes: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_collection
Oh, wait. It's a payment mode session
proud flint
yeah, the flow is that we ask the customer to pay for a one time setup fee
we save their payment details, and then later start a subscription off_session
which is why we need them to supply their details
primal iron
We changed this in an API version prior to the one you're using: https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades#2023-08-16
proud flint
and the coupon would make the setup fee free, but we still need the details
this is the relevant part right:
"No-cost orders are now enabled for one-time payments in Checkout Sessions. The value of payment_method_collection has changed from always to if_required accordingly."
so are you suggesting that I can use the field with always, and that should make it required?
primal iron
The issue is you can't set payment_method_collection in mode: 'payment' sessions and the default is, in the API version you're using, if_required so we hide the field as there's nothing to pay
proud flint
so unfortunately this feature is unavailable for now, I will probably receive an error if I try to set it to always
primal iron
Yes
proud flint
alright, our workaround is currently to make them pay 1$ I suppose that is the best we can do for now. Thank you for your help!
primal iron
You'd need to use an API version that predates 2023-08-16 which isn't really recommnded
