Hi! Yes you can do that by using the pending_setup_intent on the subscription https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

A SetupIntent has a client_secret, that you can use on the frontend with the Payment Element to collect the payment informaiton.

Okayyy thanksssss so much, but this field pending_setup_intent should be filled automatically after I create the trial period subscription??

[fading mantle]

Yes

[ebon smelt]

Or I need to genereate the setup intent... I don't understand the behaviour

[fading mantle]

This is done automatically for you (if you are using a free trial)

perfecttt

and then front must use this intent??

[fading mantle]

Yes, the frontend use the pending_setup_intent.client_secret to collect payment information (without doing any charge).

[ebon smelt]

and it is no way to make it through checkout??

avoid frontend this job??

[fading mantle]

Yes you could create the subscription directly with Checkout Session and with a trial period. This way Checkout will take care of collecting the payment information directly.

ohhh that sounds perfect

i try to do it

thanks so much again

Happy to help 🙂

You have two option to set a trial period on a Checkout Session: subscription_data.trial_end and subscription_data.trial_period_days
