Hi. For this use case, I believe you could issue a one-time payment for the amount used while the subscription is paused: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create. You could use the same payment method for that customer that is used for their subscription

That could trigger 3D-Secure even if it's an off-session payment though, right?

#

I'm not against that solution, as I think it could solve the issue — we would just need to handle it differently when doing our reporting

Yes it's possible for 3D-Secure to be triggered for off-session payments. However, that is also true for subscription payments even if the banks provide certain exceptions for recurring payments, and you need to be prepared to handle those scenarios. The other alternative is to create a $0 monthly subscription and just tack on the usage to that.

Yep, good point

#

I think doing a one-time payment might be the best solution here

#

Thanks!
