Hi there, mostly you can't. You always need to be prepared for a decline and then to bring your customer back on-session to collect new card details. That said, how are you collecting card details currently? What is the flow?

I asked for the card info, I tried to create a subscription. I checked the status if it's equal to "active", then I create a policy (the product the customer is purchasing).

#

Does your Subscription have a trial? Or are you attempting to pay the initial PaymentIntent when you are collecting these card details?

#

Can you provide me an example Subscription ID that I can look at?

This is the payment that failed https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments/pi_3Klc6eDhWLhOvPtT1issLKuK. This is an example of an active subscription https://dashboard.stripe.com/subscriptions/sub_1Kw2pZDhWLhOvPtTN91EnRTm

Thanks, give me a moment to look

#

Sorry for the delay. Are you sure that is the right PaymentIntent ID? I'm not finding it

#

Ah never mind

#

Bad copy paste

#

Okay so this PaymentIntent was actually blocked by a Radar rule you have in place.

#

You are blocking on CVC failure

#

yes, but it seems that it wasn't validated immediately because the subscription was created

#

Ah I think you are misunderstanding how Sub creation works. The Subscription will always be created in an "incomplete" state. Then if payment is successful, it will move to "active". I recommend taking a read through: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#how-payments-work-subscriptions

sour plaza May 5, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

yes, actually I verified the status, I have this in mi code

#

if (!effectiveDate && subscription.status !== "active") {
throw new InputError("The payment failed");
}

#

but it's passing

#

does this could work? change the Stripe subscription create call to set collection_method=charge_automatically, which I think means it will process the payment at the same time as creating the sub (and presumably return an error on failure)

distant copper May 5, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

No the Sub will be created regardless

#

That is how default_incomplete works. If you don't want this then you change the payment_behavior when you create the Sub: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior

#

So if you use error_if_incomplete then the Sub won't be created on payment failuire

thanks, I will review the docs and try that
