Hi there! Reading!
Hmm okay
So to clarify a little bit here... the first step is that the customer subscribes to Premium?
Is that always the starting point?
glacial ermine
There are two starting point. Either user can subcribes to premium or standard. If user is subscribed to premium then user can go for premium monthly any time later
mental kernel
Gotcha.
glacial ermine
Which mean user can have standard, premium or (premium + premium monthly ) membership
mental kernel
Okay so you would use Stripe Checkout to start the Subscription and collect the customer's paymentmethod.
Then you are planning on using the Customer Portal to allow for updating, correct?
glacial ermine
Yes
mental kernel
Cool. In that case you want to use Billing Portal configurations to control what updates the customer can make based on their current Subscription.
We discuss this here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/integrating-customer-portal#customize
And our API Ref for creating a configuration is here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customer_portal/configurations/create

Okay, let me a have a look. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have gone through the document once, but need to go thorough in detail. What I have briefly understood is, I need to create different configurations for different group of customer. Like all premium customer will have one portal configuration and all standard customer will have another. Now, I need to pass this configuration with customer id when billing portal session is getting created. Have I understood it correctly?
mental kernel
Yep you got it
glacial ermine
Okay, thanks. I will try to work on this. Can I ask doubts if I get struck somewhere?
