Hi there, is this question about billing portal or checkout? for context, the customer can't perform checkout from billing portal.

Sorry, mistake. Checkout sessions

#

I only want to let the customer purchase one subscription per organization. I have a unique org ID in the metadata

#

No worries, once the checkout session is completed, the customer can't use the same checkout session URL for repeated subscription purchase.

#

My fear is they generate two checkout session URLs, which has happened before

#

Do I need to make sure the previous session ended then?

You can also set an expiration for your checkout session https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create?lang=node#create_checkout_session-expires_at

Thanks, so just store whether they have an active session before generating a new link?

#

Yes you can do that, and you can also listen to customer.subscription.created event and then expire other pending checkout sessions if any.

Oh neat, that's the best solution

#

Thank you! Not sure where you are but didn't expect to get help at 10 pm EST 🙂
