hi there

#

so to be clear, is the PaymentIntent actually being created by a Subscription?

#

or like, how do you integrate and create this PaymentIntent, what guides are you using? the answers depend on the exact way you're doing this

#

Hm, a good and difficult question

#

I'm 99% sure we never create PaymentIntent anywhere in our code, instead we create a Stripe User in Stripe and then send information to create a subscription for the dedicated user and Stripe does all the magic

#

do you have an example PaymentIntent pi_xxx from your account?

#

Can I give you one that I generated in test mode?

plain echo May 18, 2022, 9:52 AM

#

sure

#

thanks, will look in a bit, it's really busy today unfortunately

#

Sure!

#

ok sure, so you integrate using Subscriptions only so that's what creates the PaymentIntents

#

what I would do then is look at the invoice field of the PaymentIntent and from that object, the lines will tell you what that invoice was for and you can work with that(or look another level back to the invoice.subscription field for more info) to get anything you need

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-invoice
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/line_item#invoice_line_item_object-price-product
https://stripe.com/docs/expand/

#

Also, are the payment intents' descriptions set by Stripe or can we change the default values e.g. subscription updated => your awesome plan purchased? Example is silly on purpose
the descriptions come from the Product object you use when creating the subscription
