#

thanks

#

#

yesterday one of your collagues say me that I must use event checkout.session.completed for retrieve expiration_date of suscription

#

I get the expires_at field

#

but this field contains the date of Tomorrow

#

and my suscriptions are of 1 month

weary shadow Jul 21, 2022, 9:11 AM

#

this is the expiration of the checkout session

hollow hedge Jul 21, 2022, 9:11 AM

#

#

weary shadow Jul 21, 2022, 9:11 AM

#

hollow hedge Jul 21, 2022, 9:11 AM

#

I receive in webhook customer.subscription.updated event

#

even when is a new client?

#

with first subscription

weary shadow Jul 21, 2022, 9:23 AM

#

no that would be customer.subscription.created

#

so this is why you should rely on checkout.session.completed for the first event

#

and use customer.subscription.updated for the future calls

#

and you can always listen to invoice.paid if you're looking for a way to track the customer paying their invoices/subscription fees

#

I like define a Flow but I can't see it

#

We need only customer_email and expiration_date

weary shadow Jul 21, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

take some time to read that doc

#

it will explain the whole flow

Ok, I read all

#

weary shadow Jul 21, 2022, 9:47 AM

#
