#barba - customer subscription renewal
loud laurel
Under normal renewal circumstances, the latest invoice and current period would change on the subscription, but what are you really trying to do?
hybrid fossil
just listening the subscription updated to track some information/notifications and I need to differentiate when the updated subscription webhook happened because an automatic renew
so far as you mention I'll get in the previous_attributes object two fields
- latest_invoice
- current_period_end
isnt it?
hybrid fossil
?
loud laurel
yes, assuming no other changes
But you may was to listen to invoice.paid for renewals instead, depend on what you're trying to do
hybrid fossil
mmmm well I have to double check if the invoice.paid has all the info I need:
- id
- plan id
- plan amount
- plan currency
- current_period_end
in case the invoice has all this I could use it in other case I have to keep using the subscription.updated
loud laurel
It would have the amounts for the invoice lines, yes, but eg there may be discounts applied
hybrid fossil
good point.. then im not interested I think I'll go with the subscription event 😦
loud laurel
Up to you! You can also use expansion to pull in the full price objects, for example, but you should do what works for your app!
hybrid fossil
its ok now you have confirmed me the two fields I will get at the susbcription updated when we renew
Im not sure how to test it from the stripe/test UI , any tip? thanks
loud laurel
What do you mean? What exactly do you want to test?
If you mean a subscription renewal, you should set up some subscriptions in test mode
These will fire off events to your test mode webhook endpoint
hybrid fossil
yep I mean that, so I'll create a subscription in test mode (I know how to do this) and activate it. now with the susbcription created I need to simulate a renew subscription to test the webhook
