👋 happy to help

is the Customer Portal a fit for you? https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/integrating-customer-portal

[deft scaffold]

Could you explain more briefly?

I use Stripe API from my website (I don't use the Stripe Checkout page)

I used PaymentIntent with subscriptions API

So, now I have an another feature - change a card

and change subscription

[exotic mirage]

yes you can redirect your customer to this Customer Portal where they can manage their subscriptions and their payment methods

[deft scaffold]

I need it inside my website.

Without redirection. Using Stripe API ony

only

[exotic mirage]

in that case you will have to do a lot of development to achieve the same result but I could help guide you through it

[deft scaffold]

Yes, it's what I need

I have already done with it - https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements&card-or-payment-element=card-element#create-subscription

Now I need to add some features only, like as I said

[exotic mirage]

to update the subscription https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update

to add payment method to customer https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/attach

to remove payment method from user https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/detach

these are the API that you would need to use

[deft scaffold]

So, I need to retrieve client secret, then collect card details, then call SetupIntent and then detach Payment method, correct?

[exotic mirage]

yes this is another and valid way of doing it

[deft scaffold]

Ok. Thank you. What about to change subscription from monthly (X $) to yearly (Y $)?

Could you help with API?

[deft scaffold]

How can I get client secret for existing user?

[exotic mirage]

you need to create a new SetupIntent and pass the client secret to the front end

What about to change subscription from monthly (X $) to yearly (Y $)?
you need to update the price with a yearly price instead of monthly

[deft scaffold]

How do I retrieve client secret?

[exotic mirage]

You create a new SetupIntent in the backend https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/create and you send to the front end the client_secret field on that SetupIntent object https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/object#setup_intent_object-client_secret

[deft scaffold]

A lot of functions. Only to check with you if I understand correct. Let's say for change card details:

1. Call 'SetupIntent' on backend and return client secret to frontend
2. Collect card details on frontend and calls confirmCardSetup on frontend
3. Change default customer payment
4. Detach old customer payment

Correct?

[exotic mirage]

2. Collect card details on frontend and calls confirmCardSetup on frontend
   Are you using Card Element?

Correct?
It seems so

[deft scaffold]

Yes, card element
