This solution does not meet our requirements, I need to get payment from the client before Stripe creates an invoice and sends it to the customer. I want to receive payment from catomer before the end of the free trial period. I also want to receive payment from the customer before the start of a new paid period in 60 days

I don't really follow why you don't want to automatically charge a payment method? What's the reason that makes it not a valid option for you

I can't say why, I'm a developer and got this requirement. Сan I use Checkout to pay for subscription?

Hey, taking over here. Catching up

#

I need to get payment from the client before Stripe creates an invoice and sends it to the customer.
That's not currently possible with our invoicing functionality. The invoice is either sent to the customer before payment (i.e. send_invoice) or simultaneously when payment is due (i.e. charge_automatically)

I want to receive payment from catomer before the end of the free trial period
Not really possible with Billing. Your customer would be charged at the end of the trial period, and the start of new billing cycle. You'd need to handle that manually

I also want to receive payment from the customer before the start of a new paid period in 60 days
I'm not sure what this means

I realized that this is impossible, you answered this above. Сan I use Checkout to pay for subscription?

thick zephyr Yep, you can! https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

I tried to create a payment through checkout sessions, but as a result of the payment, a new subscription is created
But I need to get paid for an already created subscription?

thick zephyr Apr 21, 2022, 10:25 AM

#

Ah, got it. Yep that's not possible currently
