the frontend fails when calling stripe.confirmPayment with a specific error about setup_future_usage — using the ExpressCheckoutElement for Google Pay and Apple Pay. Tension: The same backend logic works perfectly for standard credit card payments using the CardElement. Outcome: set `mode: 'subscription'` when setting up your elements instance on your page.

stripe.checkout.Session.create() parameters must be duplicated across if/else branches to conditionally include customer_creation or customer

the tiers field on the Price object is null. Tension: even though the price is set up with multiple tiers in the Stripe Dashboard. Outcome: how can I get the tiered pricing price, the min and max seats from a given tiered price from my product?

I can't see any appearance customization options. — using Stripe's embedded component. Tension: there no appearance customization option for Stripe's <EmbeddedCheckoutProvider>?

There is currently no bulk subscription update functionality in the public API — update approximately 5,000 active subscriptions to a new price in Stripe. Tension: MemberPress does not have a built-in option to bulk update subscription prices, and Stripe's dashboard doesn't seem to provide a native way to do this either. Outcome: a script along the lines of what you've written is the way to achieve this.

You cannot expand more than 4 levels of a property. — stripe subscriptions list --customer cus_QgBmuycCay7CGu --expand data.items.data.price.product. Tension: Property: data.items.data.price.product.

you might run into edge cases where customers are double-charged — when the webhook reaches my server I tell stripe to revert the changes it made, and schedule a subscription for next month. Tension: you will need to deal with refunds etc. Outcome: I would not recommend it.

I want to know if I can use the stripe express checkout element for subscription? — I use ruby btw. Tension: one of the modes made it seem possible. Outcome: You can use their Express Checkout Element for subscriptions.

I cannot find a solution to create the Payment Update Link via API. — for an existing subscription in Stripe through Rest API. Tension: the Payment Update Link is only allowed for an existing subscription.

How to process it as one single purchase? — A buyer wants to purchase a monthly pass (which is subscription $10/month) and some other item (which is one-time item $5). Tension: It supposes to charge them $15 this time and $10 every following month. Outcome: There are a couple ways you can accomplish this.

Need to display Apple Pay only within a Stripe PaymentElement

the first invoice is always immediately charged — Use checkout to create subscription. Tension: without waiting for the webhook to process succesfully.

Using Stripe Checkout to let a customer add a second service later (not at the same time) with a discounted bundle price, ideally as the same subscription with a higher total amount.

Prefilling the Stripe Checkout shipping address fields by passing shipping address parameters fails with an error indicating unknown parameters.

Price objects are generally immutable meaning that fields, such as `unit_amount`, cannot be updated after creation. — When a subscription plan is created in DB, it is synced to create a corresponding product and price on stripe. Tension: now i want to change the price of a plan. Outcome: Create a new Price in Stripe under the existing Product object by passing the `product` parameter.

it redirect's the customer to the checkout page — when the customer clicks on subscription for a particular plan on the pricing table. Tension: I want it to redirect it to my appliction payment page instead of the stripe checkout page. Outcome: can this be done in stripe or is there any other way i can proceed?

I really need a way to have it auto-adjust quantity, but haven't seen a way to do that. — working on an iOS Obj-C app. Tension: I know I can let the user edit quantity, but I would rather have a way to pass in the correct quantity without them needing to make adjustments. Outcome: Any suggestions for me, even if it involves not using the Payments Link?

Exception: Request failed for https://api.stripe.com returned code 400. — use Stripe API to update Stripe product image based on Product ID.

settings these breaks Stripe. It blocks the request — I've used it for many projects and the Stripe integration works flawlessly. However for a new project I needed to incorporate ffmpeg. Tension: I've literally tired every possible permutation of headers with different values but in all cases either Stripe works but ffmepg doesn't. Outcome: The customer portal works but checkout doesn't.

Stripe Checkout sends multiple session-related events for successful payments, and it's unclear whether `checkout.session.completed` covers all successful cases or whether `checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded` must be handled separately. The user also asks whether their current webhook switch statement is correct.

metadata empty when retrieving a Checkout Session's line items. Tension: passing the products I receive from the request's body in line_items property. Outcome: we have the ability to expand the line items when we retrieve them.

if the same customer subscribe to differ — When we render pricing table - we use "customer-email" property so on the checkout page email input is prepolulated and disabled. Tension: subscriber company can have multiple subscriptions. Outcome: we decided to move forward with pricing tables.

IntegrationError: Invalid value for elements(): cl. Tension: Checkout Sessions and the Payment Element are two separate/different integration paths. Outcome: You should not be using the Checkout Session's client_secret with the Payment Element.

Need to create a Stripe payment link with a runtime price

if I create a checkoutSession with `mode = 'subscription'` then I do NOT find the `metadata` fields inside the `payment` Metadata. — Using the Stripe API, I realized that the checkoutSession creation is not consistent. Tension: the metadata can be found under `Subscriptions` Console. Outcome: for a subscription you want to use the `subscription_data[metadata]` parameter instead.

I did not find a way yet to do that without making an additional request to retrieve the `price_id`. — create a subscription on Stripe by using the `lookup_key` as the initial information. Tension: It would be nice to have the most direct way to create a subscription using the lookup_key. Outcome: You can't, that's not supported.

Stripe API returns "Received unknown parameter: id" when creating a Price

I'd like to offer international shipping, with different shipping options and a shipping cost based on the country dinamically choosed on the checkout stripe page. — I am using Stripe's Checkout API. Tension: Is there a way, using Checkout, to make shipping cost options conditional on the shipping address country the user inputs in the Checkout form?

create a payment sheet. Tension: I would like to show that 10.99 is the item price and 2 is the tax. Outcome: It is possible on stripe's checkout session API but I couldn't do it on stripe's payments API.

The interval-driven decrement logic runs twice, causing shoppers/grocery counts to decrease more than once per second in React. This makes the checkout line processing behave incorrectly.
