depends on how you integrate with Stripe. Are you using Checkout or Element or something else?

[thin estuary]

hey wsw, we're using elements

[chrome valley]

I see, there is no Stripe built checkbox

you will have to build yourself

[thin estuary]

i see. what if we used checkout?

[chrome valley]

You cannot neither, but you will be using different parameters when you create checkout session

[thin estuary]

i see

only way is to create subscription plans?

[chrome valley]

you can use setup intent to save the payment_method

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web

[thin estuary]

i see, that's an interesting option

thank you

[chrome valley]

np

[thin estuary]

should i combine that with a cron that automatically charges after x amount of time?

[chrome valley]

you can

but you can also use billing as you mentioned, then you don't have to write your own cron job as Stripe will do that for you by charing your customer recurringly

[thin estuary]

i see

we'd have to offer the client the option to cancel a subscription

[chrome valley]

correct,

But that is true too for your cron job as well

you will need to offer a way for your customer to stop the cron job from charging them again

For Stripe subscription, you can just call https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/cancel?lang=curl

[thin estuary]

let me see

[thin estuary]

true

[thin estuary]

thank you. could you clarify what the input is? not clear to me

[chrome valley]

the input is just the subscription ID sub_xxxx that you want to cancel

[thin estuary]

got it

should store that id in the db

[chrome valley]

correct

[thin estuary]

thanks very much wsw, i hope i wasn't too much of a pain

i think that's all for now

[chrome valley]

cool, good luck
