hi! possibly using Checkout directly (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=checkout) in a page/code you right yourself, though I'd have to check if Checkout itself supports metered prices.

#

yep seems like it does, so that's the good alternative.

#

hi this is not subscription, it is simple payout which was working before

#

also, what exactly means metered price?

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 11:41 AM

#

@spark pebble Wrong thread 🙂

spark pebble Jul 15, 2022, 11:41 AM

#

oops

#

ohh shit, i am at wrong place

#

sorry, bye

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 11:42 AM

#

Hmm... I honestly wanted to just send the user to you guys and then back. So the payment links are actually fitting.

#

But if this is not supported, I guess I'll have to think of something else....

brittle chasm Hmm... I honestly wanted to just send the user to you guys and then back. So the...

well Checkout is mostly that, it's the same thing really.

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 11:44 AM

#

I'm looking at it right now.

bleak pulsar Jul 15, 2022, 11:44 AM

#

it's just that you have to build the page that contains the link the user can press to pay and then call the API to create the Session and redirect them to it

#

the actual payment page is the same, PaymentLinks are just a way to have a static link to go to a Checkout page.

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 11:45 AM

#

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now.... is basically really just another end point... thank you!

#

I think you helped me with this 🙂

#

@bleak pulsar For a checkout session, is there an option to create a one-part invoice only by the 1st of the next month? Example: Today someone uses Checkout Session and subscription is created, should be billed only 15.07 - end of the month and then from 01.08 - last day of August. Do you understand what I mean? Prorated topic.

bleak pulsar Jul 15, 2022, 11:56 AM

#

yeah I think what you're asking is if you can set the billing_cycle_anchor (i.e. you want https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle#new-subscriptions to have "a billing cycle anchor in the future and a prorated invoice until the anchor,") , which is not possible on Checkout today unfortunately since it doesn't support billing_cycle_anchor yet.

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 11:58 AM

#

What would be your recommendation then? How we should implement the checkout?

#

We could theoretically create the subscription ourselves, but we would have to enter the payment method beforehand.

bleak pulsar Jul 15, 2022, 11:59 AM

#

well it depends if that latest requirement is an absolute must have. If it is then you can't use Checkout and would have to directly build the payments page using Elements etc(the other tab on that integration guide , https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements )

Ok, thanks

@brittle chasm Could you share your Stripe account ID?

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:10 PM

#

of course

We're tracking merchant requests for those particular workflows with Checkout so I can log your interest

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:10 PM

#

Do you have a beta for me? 🙂

#

Ahhh ok

#

We have several accounts (from customers) that are interested in it, moment.

#

Nothing to share just yet! But if we do, you'll likely be first to hear now I've logged your interest

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:11 PM

#

good to know!

#

We love Stripe, especially as developers, but it's always sobering when you have a feature in mind and then realize that Stripe again doesn't work at that point like it does at another endpoint... if Stripe has a weakness, that's it, somewhere.

#

It's not like Stripe can't do that.... just not at the one place again...

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:14 PM

#

Yep, not every payment UI supports every payment flow. Often about striking a balance between complexity and usability

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:15 PM

#

I understand... is still frustrating 😄

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:15 PM

#

Checkout is intended to be on the lower end of complexity, but we're always keen to hear about use cases we don't currently cover!

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:15 PM

#

And because you just don't know what "not yet" means at Stripe, so it means "soon" or "more like in 3 years." There is a lack of transparency in the roadmap, so that customers know in which direction they can prepare themselves.

#

If I knew now that you were working on it and it followed promptly, then I could weigh which way to go.

#

Whether we transition to billing on the 1st of the month or invest the effort.

#

Hmm... I miss here the payment option of the bank transfer (SEPA Credit Transfer Europe)? @hearty ginkgo

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:24 PM

#

Where is 'here'?

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:24 PM

#

How can I provide them during a checkout? So that the IBAN is generated and stored in the customer?

#

Sorry.

Checkout Sessions Create

#

Yep, SEPA CT is built on Sources API which Checkout does not support

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:26 PM

#

😦

#

Is there any checkout logic that supports this? Elements?

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:32 PM

#

Not really no as Sources are an older API that we no longer support on payment UIs

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:33 PM

#

Are there any plans to bring the bank transfer to a new API? When Sources is phased out?

#

In Germany, the bank transfer is still a strong means of payment. It would be good if the customer could choose the payment method besides credit card and direct debit.

#

Especially in the B2B environment.

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:34 PM

#

Yep, we just released a new PM for bank transfers: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/bank-transfers

Bank transfer payments

Learn how to accept bank transfers

#

Doesn't support Checkout currently

brittle chasm Jul 15, 2022, 12:34 PM

#

ETA for support?

#

Or if there is no ETA yet, can you also express our interest here and let us know as soon as that changes?

hearty ginkgo Jul 15, 2022, 12:39 PM

#

I can share that feedback with the team, yep!
