Thanks for the info.

This is the expected because unlike metered price/product , a unmetered price/product is pre-paid -> which means your customer will need to make the payment immediately when they subscribe, and that's why a paymentMethod is required.

Aha, so all metered prices are post-paid. That makes sense. And my workaround for this issue was exactly this - creating an metered standard price, but I just always send usage record of 1 and it works out OK in our invoices

#

But what now happens after the 30th of june arrives and the invoices are actually created in Stripe? The customers still do not have payment methods, will this usecase then throw errors?

#

I do not seem to find a payment method for "manual bank transfer" ?

You've specified 1656536400 as the billing_cycle_anchor so the invoice will be created at 29 June 2022 21:00:00 UTC instead of 30 June. Stripe will attempt to pay the invoice but the payment will fail because there's no payment method available.

Instead of auto advance, You can also set the subscription's colleciton_method to send_invoice, so that your customer will receive a Stripe hosted invoice, where they can make the payment.

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/integration-options you can refer to this page for the list of payment methods available for subscription.

What consequences will this cause for the customer/subscription/payment if the payment fails immediately?

#

hmm, now that I set
collection_method: 'send_invoice',
days_until_due: 14,

#

The invoice is created immediately and with 0 usage

) Stripe will automatically attempt to recover it and if all payment attempts fail, the subscription may go into canceled, unpaid or past_due based on your settings (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#settings

aha, this 0-invoice is the same that is also generated with non-send-invoice collection method
