Hi! This actually changed recently, and you now need to expand latest_invoice.payments.data.payment.payment_intent to get the Payment Intent.

I am trying this right now I will get back to you in a minute!
here is the error we have (the function is also included):
function:
const createSubscriptionWithPaymentIntent = async (customerId, priceId, userId, spaceId, quantity = 1) => {
try {
// Create the subscription with expand parameter to get the payment intent directly
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items: [
{
price: priceId,
quantity: quantity,
},
],
metadata: {
user_id: userId,
space_id: spaceId
},
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
payment_settings: {
save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription',
payment_method_types: ['card']
},
expand: ['latest_invoice.payments.data.payment.payment_intent']
});

hello!
I think it is to retrieve the client_secret and return it to the client so we can process the payment
grim quarry
Gotcha, you want to use the confirmation_secret.client_secret for that: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-confirmation_secret-client_secret
So you only need to expand latest_invoice here
brave badger
here is the updated function:
const createSubscriptionWithPaymentIntent = async (customerId, priceId, userId, spaceId, quantity = 1) => {
try {
// Create the subscription with expand parameter to get the payment intent directly
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items: [
{
price: priceId,
quantity: quantity,
},
],
metadata: {
user_id: userId,
space_id: spaceId
},
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
collection_method: 'charge_automatically',
payment_settings: {
save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription',
payment_method_types: ['card']
},
expand: ['latest_invoice']
});
if (!subscription.latest_invoice || !subscription.latest_invoice.confirmation_secret) {
throw new Error('No confirmation secret was found on the latest invoice');
}
const clientSecret = subscription.latest_invoice.confirmation_secret.client_secret;
if (!clientSecret) {
throw new Error('No client secret was found in the confirmation secret');
}
// Return the client secret from the payment intent
return {
subscriptionId: subscription.id,
clientSecret: clientSecret
};
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error creating subscription with payment intent:', error);
throw error;
}
};
And here is the new error:
Error creating subscription with payment intent: Error: No confirmation secret was found on the latest invoice
at Object.createSubscriptionWithPaymentIntent (/Users/arvihaxhillari/Documents/Code/mention/backend/services/stripeService.js:214:13)
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
at async createSubscription (/Users/arvihaxhillari/Documents/Code/mention/backend/controllers/billing/billingController.js:46:20)
We keep getting stuck 😅

What API version are you using here?
And can you share the request ID from your test?
If you are not on the newest API version then you would just use latest_invoice.payment_intent.client_secret
This changed quite recently, see: https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/basil/2025-03-31/add-support-for-multiple-partial-payments-on-invoices
brave badger
the version is : 18.0.0
grim quarry
That looks to be a SDK version
You are using the node SDK though it looks like
Which did PIN to that new API version mentioned above: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1800---2025-04-01
Can you share the Subscription ID that you created here in your test?
brave badger
the stripe version is 2025-03-31.basil
we are getting the other ids
here is the subscription id: sub_1RMZjqGKpk2qFBnGk1NvO6eg
grim quarry
Thanks, give me a sec
brave badger
