Code for creating subscription:
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items: [
{
price: priceId,
quantity: seatCount,
},
],
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' },
expand: ['latest_invoice.confirmation_secret'],
});
Error:
{
"error": {
"code": "resource_missing",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/resource-missing",
"message": "This customer has no attached payment source or default payment method. Please consider adding a default payment method. For more information, visit https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/payment-methods-setting#payment-method-priority.",

payment_behavior only applies to subscriptions with collection_method=charge_automatically
When charging automatically, Stripe will attempt to pay this subscription at the end of the cycle using the default source attached to the customer [0]. Hence why we're returning the error.
astral nacelle
I'm not specifying collection method though, and the default is charge_automatically correct?
So shouldn't it just create the subscription with status=incomplete?
unreal orchid
Yes, the default is charge_automatically

This is the guide I'm following btw: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?platform=web&ui=elements#create-subscription

Double checking things on my end.

Ok, so I just went through the process and I was not able to replicate your issue. This is what I used on my end:
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: 'cus_SWe7O4z31Vpf2B',
items: [
{
price: 'price_1RbazQQKdNnoI2anyOi1Jfff',
},
],
metadata: {
description: "This is a subscription that was created via the API (https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create)"
},
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
//expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
expand: ['latest_invoice.confirmation_secret']
});
And this is the request body per workbench
{
"customer": "cus_SWe7O4z31Vpf2B",
"expand": {
"0": "latest_invoice.confirmation_secret"
},
"items": {
"0": {
"price": "price_1RbazQQKdNnoI2anyOi1Jfff"
}
},
"metadata": {
"description": "This is a subscription that was created via the API (https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create)"
},
"payment_behavior": "default_incomplete"
}
And your customer has no payment methods associated with them?
unreal orchid
None
I recommend double checking your code, because it appears the following did not make it's way into the request that you sent:
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
expand: ['latest_invoice.confirmation_secret'],
Yeah I'm aware 🤔
Why would that be??
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customerId,
items: [
{
price: priceId,
quantity: seatCount,
},
],
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' },
expand: ['latest_invoice.confirmation_secret'],
});
This is my actual code haha
nothing omitted or added here
unreal orchid
How are you sending the request?
astral nacelle
Via a firebase function running in the firebase emulator
Which may have just given me a clue
Give me 5 minutes I'll check that it's building correctly etc
unreal orchid
Sounds good.
astral nacelle
Ah that was it haha
Dunno what happened but resetting my functions build dir fixed it
It's always the things you don't think to check 😅
unreal orchid
Hahahaha. Glad that resolved it.
