This is something you'd have to manage yourself - we don't have anything that would automatically check whether a customer already signed up and cancelled a free trial

and if he completes the trail and paid for a subscription, and after a duration cancels it, and sometime in future get a subscription again, he'll be given a free trail again?

#

Yes - you'd have to check for yourself whether they signed up with you before by listing all the subscriptions for that customer (see https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/list#list_subscriptions-customer)

thanks a lot @zinc zephyr

#

one more thing, I've added user's cards in stripe, how do I charge him with the subscription? do we do it before creating a subscription or after creating a subscription?

#

how to link that card with a subscription?

#

If the you set invoice_settings[default_payment_method] to the saved Payment Method then that should automatically use that card for all billing (subscriptions + invoices) related charges. Alternatively, you can just set default_payment_method on the Subscription to whichever payment method you want to use

#

and this can be done if the api is called from backend, or does the user need to verify the transaction by any OTP?

#

and you're awesome. I've spend quite sometime on figuring these things out but couldn't find any specific tutorials. Thanks again for your help.

#

If the Payment Method has been setup for future usage then you theoretically could create the Subscription from the backend, but there is always the chance that the bank/issuer will still decide OTP/authentication is needed and require you to bring the customer back on session to complete payment
