#cnguyen - Force VC & M for Subs
warm mango
Hi
lethal scroll
I do not think that is a feature of Stripe but you could definitely code it yourself.

How is it possible?
There si an option on the API to be on the VISA/MC network when I create the subscription?

Sorry it's kinda busy
warm mango
No problem. I thought you forget me 😂
lethal scroll
Can you specify where you see this option?
warm mango
I ask. I don't know.

Because you say that
lethal scroll
Right, you can save cards to Stripe and they will include the card.brand field. You would code your own application to only accept cards that had visa or mastercard as that value

OK so it means that when I do the payment, I can check the attached card and check the card.brand.
But if it's not MC or VISA, I can do nothing to create the subscription on these network

Your initial question was
Hi all. Can we force VISA and Mastercard for subscriptions ?
So do you want to force only Visa and Mastercard? And reject others?
warm mango
depends on the solution. We would like to check what is the network. And if the network is not VISA / MC, we want to force it to use the VISA / MC network
So my question wasn't clear, sorry. I don't want to reject them. I want to "redirect" them to VISA / MC
It's because, sometimes, we have the network CB (Blue card, in France). And we want to avoid this one.

This documentation indicates how you can specify the available card networks: https://stripe.com/docs/card-brand-choice
I would recommend testing out either the Client Side or Server side integration, specifying 'visa' and 'mastercard' as the available networks and using both our test Visa and other cards (e.g. Diners Club, JCB, etc)
We have specific CB test cards here: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#carte-bancaires

ok so I have to create the PI or the PM first
I can't specify it for a subscription creation

How are your users creating their subscriptions?
If you are using Stripe Elements to collect payment information for your subscription, you could include this check on the client side: https://stripe.com/docs/card-brand-choice#confirming-the-card-network-using-stripe-elements
However, one thing I want to call out from the docs I linked you to:
Since June 2016, EU regulation mandates merchants and acquirers to follow consumers’ card brand choice for payments made with co-badged cards (for example, cards branded with both Visa and Mastercard and a local scheme such as Cartes Bancaires). In practice, this means that merchants must allow customers to select their preferred brand in a payment form.

How are your users creating their subscriptions?
It's always associated to an other payment. So we do the pi first with the offsession flag. Then we make the subscription after

👋 @lethal scroll had to head out so I'm taking over - give me a few minutes to catch up
warm mango
thanks

Sorry it took me a while to come back to this - is my understanding correct that you want to force your customers to use Visa/Mastercard for these co-branded cards? As @lethal scroll mentioned earlier I don't think this is actually allowed. Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to solve?
