👋 Hi there! I would say that the billing portal would be the simplest for these requirements
What issues are you having with it?
subscription_update still needs products configured in portal settings
If you want customers to choose a new product, then I think it makes sense that you have to specify which products they can choose

Using Inovice hosted page will it be a good solution?
because with billing portal I am getting an error while upgrading the plan
and the error is "metered_value"
in one plan metered value exists and to other plan it does not exists
west flame
The Hosted Invoice Page is for paying invoices, rather than changing Subscription configuration
Do you have a screenshot of the error you're getting on the billing portal?
wide quarry
No unfortunately I did not saved it
Stripe recommendation is using billing portal?
right
is there any way we can redirect back from hosted invoice url?

Yes

Let me check
wide quarry
Thanks
west flame
I don't think it's possible. We show the confirmation screen once it's paid, but there are no configurable links there on the Hosted Invoice Page
wide quarry
So Billing portal is the best solution
i think I need to red the documentations for Billing Portal
can I have some important links?
west flame
Sure. The documentation starts here: https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management
But if you want a customer to manage a specific subscription, so they can update it, a subscription_update deep link will be useful: https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management/portal-deep-links

My setup:
PAYG subscription with a metered overage price
User clicks "Upgrade" to switch to $200/month fixed plan
Need to handle 3DS and redirect back to my app after payment
What I've tried:
Billing Portal ❌ Error: "cannot update subscription with metered items"
Hosted Invoice URL ✅ Works, but no return_url support
Checkout Session ❌ Creates new subscription, can't update existing
Question:
Is there any Stripe-hosted solution that can update a subscription containing metered items AND redirect back to my app after payment? Or is Stripe.js confirmCardPayment() the only option for redirect control in this scenario?
bright tangle
hi there!
sure, directly update the Subscription object. then you'll get a new Invoice. Stripe will automatically try to pay that invoice if the customer has a default payment method. If not, you can use the Payment Element to pay for the PaymentIntent contained in the Invoice.
bright tangle
then you should use the Hosted Invoice URL
wide quarry
But for hosted inovice URl dont have the ability to redirect
Why I cant update my plan using billing portal with metered value?
bright tangle
But for hosted inovice URl dont have the ability to redirect
correct, that's why I suggested using the Payment Element
Why I cant update my plan using billing portal with metered value?
that's a limitation of the Billing Portal
wide quarry
Is the payment element works with fronted end ??
bright tangle
yes
you can learn more about the Payment Element here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements
wide quarry
So its like i will get a payment intent id and will use it on frotnend for 3ds
bright tangle
it depends what you want to do exactly. if the subscription update only requires 3DS, then you don't need the Payment Element. you can just call this to trigger the 3DS flow: https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_intents/confirm_card_payment#stripe_confirm_card_payment-attached
wide quarry
got it
