#Mathieu Ducrot-SetupIntents

Yes SetupIntents for cards can be processing albeit briefly https://stripe.com/docs/payments/intents
Can you clarify that second part? You should definitely check the Subscription/Payment's status apart from the SetupIntent's status

To give you more context in my integration i managed to store payment method via SetupIntent + PaymentElement and then in the return_url from the confirmSetup I create the subscription based on the SetupIntent status (provide in the query params).
If the PM is a card i attempt to directly create the subscription and for most of my card test the subscription status are always active, that why i'm asking.
But from what i understand, i must always check the payment intent of the subscription (via API or via webhook) to deliver the product licence on my end user

@nocturne cloud that's not the recommended integration path. We discourage creating the SetupIntent yourself, you should be creating the Subscription first instead
But yes the SetupIntent will always end up in processing and not succeeded with Cards.

why is it discourage ? i don't want to create a subscription at any time the customer goes on the checkout page. I only want to create subscription if the customer did setup his payment method.
If i follow the "normal path" as you say on this guide https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscription?ui=elements i can end up with multiple non validate subscription if the customer don't actually fill the form.
Where on the other side, following this guide https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web#web-submit-payment-details, i end up creating the subscription only once, and i'm sure i don't have to reset the billing date

That's fair, that's just not the recommended integration path

so is checking the subscription status (being active) is enough to notify the client for his purchase or do i must also check the payment intent status link to that subscription ?
magic tendon
The Subscription would be enough

ok thanks so if i do that for card and use webhook for delayed notification method (like sepa) i guess i should be fine
