This is what the user sees in Stripe checkout

Hi there,
I have a couple of questions just to clarify.
What payment UI are you using? Checkout?
Are you expecting different names for the Subscription Items, because it only refers to the product name.

[deep sparrow]

Yeah, I'm using Stripe's checkout link:

 const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
      mode: "subscription",
      line_items: [
        {
          price: "x",
          quantity: 1,
        },
        {
          price: "x",
        },
        {
          price: "x",
        },
      ],
      success_url:
        "",
      cancel_url: "",
      metadata: {
        organizationId: user.organizationId,
        purchasedBy: user.id,
        referenceId: user.organizationId,
      },
      subscription_data: {
        metadata: {
          organizationId: user.organizationId,
          purchasedBy: user.id,
        },
      },
    });

I'm expecting different names for the subscription items, because on the left of the checkout page (where you can see the pricing), it looks to the user like the same subscription three times, but with different pricing.

[sturdy grove]

It basically is the same subscription item(product) with three different pricings. With that the same name for the subscription item will appear. You would need to create individual products for each price if you want to display different subscription item "names" on checkout

[deep sparrow]

Okay, but is creating a pay-as-you-go plan with a base price using that multiple pricing approach the correct way to set up billing of this type?

[sturdy grove]

If you have a flat fee + usage-based pricing, then your approach is totally valid.

Great, thank you so much
