You can check if a Customer has any subscriptions by passing in the ID to customer and using our List Subscriptions endpoint (see https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/list#list_subscriptions-customer)

gotcha, then from there, if they do have a subscription, how would i get the clientSecret?

[languid junco]

A Subscription does not have a client secret so it doesn't really make sense that way. Are you asking about the PaymentIntent's client secret? What's the context of your ask?

[crimson yacht]

so im creating a subscription, then confirming the the card setup

but confirmCardSetup requires clientSecret

I understand createSubscription returns pending_setup_intent.client_secret

but my issue is what if a user signs up, creates a subscription then say, for example, they type in wrong card number. the subscription is created already

so If they try to retype the card number in that session (or come back) I would want to use the same clientSecret as the subscription they previously created

[languid junco]

then you get the client secret the same way you would have on creation really

the client secret is inside the SetupIntent in pending_setup_intent which you need to expand like you do on creation

[crimson yacht]

so retrieving the subscription object would have that pending_setup_intent?

okay. So I would check if customer has subscriptions, retrieve subscription with that subscriptionId, then get clientSecret from retrieved subscription object

thanks!

[languid junco]

honestly you really should track this in your database instead

seems quite inefficient to make all those API requests

[crimson yacht]

thats what i was thinking

okay I'll do that instead

wasn't sure what id's were a no-go to store

[languid junco]

you can store everything from our API

[crimson yacht]

gotcha thanks for the help!

[languid junco]

Sure thing!
