Hello 👋
I can surely look into it.
Do you have any example event IDs available for these by any chance?
Wait found it
chrome rune
this is a test id "evt_1KlJ8EGjZDiWw2MlnVSBlr56"
when trigger customer.subscription.created
and in my webhook, i am trying to use this code to listen
if(stripeEvent.Type == Events.InvoicePaid)
{
// code to renew customer subscription in my site database
//NOTE: i want this function to be implemented only when subscription renewed not created
}
frail temple
You can look at the billing_reason property on the event body to find the reason behind invoice creation
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason
It would say subscription_create for a new subscription
and say subscription_update if created by an update to a subscription
chrome rune
You can look at the billing_reason property on the event body to find the reason...
in both cases it gave me "billing_reason : "subscription_create" "
frail temple
do you have the event ID for when you trigger customer.subscription.updated?
chrome rune
evt_1KlJGWGjZDiWw2MlkQIaEkDK
frail temple
are these events for two different subscriptions?
chrome rune
yes, and for your information i am trying to do it from stripe cli
frail temple
so you're using stripe trigger customer.subscription.updated and looking at the invoice.paid event?
chrome rune
yes
frail temple
This creates a new subscription every time hence the invoice.paid event on it would say subscription_create.
I haven't tested this but you should be able to do this via the dashboard. You can update a subscription with proration which should create an invoice which once paid should show the correct reason there.
frail temple
let me quickly check something
Yeah I don't think CLI can support this by default unless you build your own fixture.
chrome rune
if i update it from dashboard, will it hit the local webhook, or it is a must to use a public url ?
frail temple
You should be able to listen to it locally
chrome rune
got it
i found that there is subscription_cycle
should i use it in my code or subscription_update is the proper one
i update my webhook like that
if (event.type == invoice.paid && event.billing_reason == "subscription_update" ){
// update my database with renewal
}
is that code logic correct or i should use subscription_cycle
?
frail temple
If you're checking for renewal you should use subscription_cycle
I've got to hop off now but @rotund spoke should be able to help you if you have any follow up questions 🙂
Good luck
chrome rune
Thanks
@rotund spoke as per henzo recommendation i should check if billing reason = subscription_cycle for subscription renewal in webhook
if i create subscription with 1 year trail, after 1 year and when the customer auto-charged for the new year after trial (will billing_reason = subscription_cycle also)
?
chrome rune
so in renewal and after trial to update my site database by webhook, the below code logic is correct?
if (event.type == invoice.paid && event.billing_reason == "subscription_cycle" ){
// update my database with renewal or renewal after-trial
}
?
rotund spoke
yes correct
