hello

dense marsh
👋 happy to help

my question above
I want to make the product safe and secure since it's based on role assignment
first how do I identify certain subscription plan? is it by price id or product id?
dense marsh
instead of listening to the customer.subscription.* events, you can listen to the invoice.paid events
small spoke
what is the difference?
dense marsh
first how do I identify certain subscription plan? is it by price id or product ...
it depends on how you're creating your plans
small spoke
does it cover the case when user upgrades his or degrade his plan or when his plan gets expired
dense marsh
what is the difference?
if you listen to the invoice.paid events you can know why an invoice is generated by looking at the billing_reason https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason
which will cover these scenarios:
subscription_create: A new subscription was created.subscription_cycle: A subscription advanced into a new period.subscription_update: A subscription was updated.

ok now how do I know which plan was chosen?
I want to identify premium plans (no matter paid monthly or yearly) so the bot can give the user appropriate roles
dense marsh
you can look at the invoice items
or you can retrieve the subscription and look at the subscription items
if you're creating a "premium" product with 2 prices (monthly and yearly) then you can rely on the product ID
small spoke
ok and in case subscription degrade and expiry?
dense marsh
whether it's a downgrade or an upgrade the subscription_update would be your got to event
you can still listen to the customer.subscription.deleted for when the subscription ends
small spoke
ok so these two events will be enough right?
customer.subscription.deletedinvoice.paid
dense marsh
yes
small spoke
and how do I test this locally? because our product is live

ok thanks
