peak dagger if i use then i need to redirect on checkout page ?

Yeah you can display it your frontend or use it your backend

peak dagger Nov 13, 2025, 9:02 AM

#

Then the flow would be: create a setup intent, provide the setup intent ID to checkout, in checkout, the user will see the card details, and we will save? it right

mellow heath Nov 13, 2025, 9:03 AM

#

What you mean by "checkout" hear exactly ? Stripe Checkout Session or you frontend checkout page with PaymentElement ?

The guide I shared above provides step by step flow, using Checkout Session or PaymentElement and how to use the saved PaymentMethod at the end.

#

okay

#

But in guide it says about Compliance
so we don't want to save card details on our system

mellow heath Nov 13, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

You want get any raw Card details, you just store the PaymentMethod Id, the compliance part is about how you'll be using the saved PaymentMethod later

mellow heath Nov 13, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

What you mean by amount is 0 ?

#

#

thank you

#

#

one more thing

#

we have PRO and EXPERT Plan so can i need to create price object of stripe

#

becuasae we use stripe checkout session for purchase plan

ember light Nov 13, 2025, 9:20 AM

#

peak dagger for the save details of card ?

Not sure what the question is, but we have a guide on how to model that style of pricing: https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#flat-rate

#

Generally PRO and EXPERT would be different Product (prod_xxx) objects each with different prices for each interval

peak dagger Nov 13, 2025, 9:23 AM

#

Generally PRO and EXPERT would be different Product (prod_xxx) objects each with different prices for each interval

yes so this price object i need to create on stripe before provide plan for purching to checkout session ?

ember light Nov 13, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

Yes, Checkout expects price_xxx ID objects in the line items. But you can't create a Price without a Product first

peak dagger Nov 13, 2025, 9:28 AM

#

okay then i need to create 4 products right

ember light Nov 13, 2025, 9:31 AM

#

Why 4?

peak dagger Nov 13, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

for cover intervals

#

monthly and annually

ember light Nov 13, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

Then no, you'd create two products (PRO and EXPERT) and two prices for each (monthly, yearly)

peak dagger Nov 13, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

okay done

#

all things possible using apis right ? and attached that price id to plan

#

Thank you so much

#

should i create free plan product and prices or not require

ember light Nov 13, 2025, 9:40 AM

#

That's an implementation detail. Do you want Stripe to track free users of your product? If so then you'd create a free price and generate subscriptions for them, useful to track people who convert from free to a paid plan
