Hi there 👋 I believe so, is that what you see when you test this flow?

#

Wait, how are you getting into a state where your cusotmer has a subscription that can be updated but doesn't have a payment method added?

#

Are you trying to let them update an incomplete Subscription?

I haven't tested this flow yet – because I wasted so much time building a flow already and it didn't work out as I needed it. So before I start coding again, I wanted to ask here if this even possible.

My users start a subscription which is $0 and has a 14 days trial. I start the subscription with

const subscription = await stripeClient.subscriptions.create({
    customer: customerId,
    items: [{ price: priceId }],
    trial_period_days: 14,
    trial_settings: {
        end_behavior: {
            missing_payment_method: 'cancel'
        }
    }
});

So they will not add a payment method.

After the trial expired, I ask the user to choose a plan:

  1. I build my own pricing table UI and let the user select a plan
  2. Then, I want to redirect to a customer portal session with subscription_update_confirm -> where the user confirms the plan, but also needs to add a payment method.

Is adding a payment method supported by a customer session with subscription_update_confirm?

Ah, so you are creating Subscriptions with trial periods (that's different from the scenario you described in your initial message, and is where my confusion came from).

I'm not sure offhand, and will need to stand up a test for that. If you already have the first part of your flow created that creates the Subscription, you'll likely be able to test faster than I can, but I'll be back once I've had a chance to finish testing that.

Oh, that's okay. Could have been that you know the answer from the top of your hat. I will test it myself, it's all good! Thank you for your time @empty forge

Yes it seems to:

Thanks! How can I change the button text? Because mine says "Subscribe with obligation to pay" instead of "Subscribe and pay"

As far as I'm aware, you can't. The difference in verbiage you're seeing is likely caused by a difference in the location being used to test the flow.

Okay got it. Thanks for your time and thread can be closed!
