You can try to expand and get the information from

subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges

Payment_intent and charge only exists when the charge is attempted

#

not sure i get it

#

should i use a webhook instead?

scenic kestrel Sep 14, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

no

#

it is a property of the subscription

#

you would get it like an ID of the subscription. e.g.

var sub = stripe.subscriptions.create 
// get id 
let id = sub.id
// Similarly, you can get 
let charge = sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges [0]

#

however, by default laste_invoice is just an ID but you can expand it https://stripe.com/docs/api/expanding_objects?lang=curl

var sub = stripe.subscriptions.create(...., {expand: [latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges]}) 
let charge = sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges [0]

        items: [

@misty coyote try

   let sub = stripe.subscriptions.create({
            customer: data.customerId,
            items: [
              {
                plan: data.planId
              }
            ]},{
            expand: [latest_invoice
.payment_intent.charges]
          });

#

thank you

#

it returned latest_invoice is not defined

#

here

let charge = sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges [0]

you mean index 0 of array sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges

?

#

As i mentioned, you will only get an invoice and payment if a payment is attempted

#

here you are only creating the subscription. Does your customer has a default payment_method that could be used for payment?

misty coyote Sep 14, 2021, 4:37 AM

#

isn't that what subscriptions.create does?

#

the user inputs card information

#

i wasn't aware that after stripe.subscriptions.create i had to trigger a payment

You can take a look at the guide here https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/elements#create-subscription

Create subscriptions with Elements

Learn how to offer multiple pricing options to your customers and charge them a fixed amount each month.

#

    const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customerId,
      items: [{
        price: priceId,
      }],
      payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
      expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
    });

#

i am using Stripe Elements to collect card information

scenic kestrel Sep 14, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

wrap the expand parameter in quote

misty coyote Sep 14, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

scenic kestrel ``` var sub = stripe.subscriptions.create(...., {expand: [latest_invoice.payment...

let charge = sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges [0]

seems like sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges is an object

did you mean

sub.latest_invoice.payment_intent.charges.data[0] ?

scenic kestrel Sep 14, 2021, 5:23 AM

#

yup, sorry, should be more accurate. on that.
