create subscription v15.0.0

Starts recurring billing for a customer who already has a payment method on file. To collect the card and subscribe in one step, use create checkout in subscription mode instead.

In pins 11 + flow
  • flow
    flow
  • connection required
    stripeconnection
  • customer id required
    value
  • price id
    value

    price_… : the plan to subscribe to. Create Prices in the Stripe dashboard.

  • quantity
    number

    Seats, units. Default 1.

  • items
    array<object>

    Full Stripe items for a multi-plan subscription, e.g. [{"price":"price_1","quantity":2}]. Wins over price id.

  • payment method id
    value

    pm_… : which saved method to bill. Defaults to the customer's default.

  • trial days
    number

    Free days before the first charge.

  • coupon
    value

    A coupon id to apply.

  • allow incomplete
    boolean

    Create the subscription even if the first charge fails, leaving it incomplete. Without this a declined card fails the whole call and no subscription exists to chase.

  • meta data
    object
  • idempotency key
    value

    Optional. Reusing a key makes Stripe replay the first response instead of creating a second object : wire something stable per order, like the order GUID.

    flow
  • connection
    stripeconnection
  • is active
    condition

    True for active AND trialing : branching on status == active alone locks every trial user out.

  • status
    value

    trialing, active, past_due, canceled, unpaid, incomplete, paused.

  • subscription id
    value
  • cancels at period end
    condition

    True when the subscription is running out rather than renewing. Resume clears it.

  • period end
    number

    Unix timestamp : when the customer's paid-for access runs out, and when the next charge falls due.

  • period start
    number

    Unix timestamp.

  • canceled at
    number

    Unix timestamp of when cancellation was requested. 0 when it has not been.

  • trial end
    number

    Unix timestamp. 0 when there is no trial.

  • price id
    value

    The plan on the first item : what a single-plan subscription is subscribed to.

  • items
    array<object>

    Every subscription item, for the multi-plan case.

  • customer id
    value
  • latest invoice id
    value

    The invoice a credit note would be issued against.

  • meta data
    object
  • subscription
    object
  • success
    condition
  • error
    value

    Stripe's own message, or a sentinel like MISSING_SESSION_ID for a problem in the wiring.

  • error code
    value

    Stripe's machine-readable code, e.g. card_declined, resource_missing.

  • decline code
    value

    Why the bank refused, e.g. insufficient_funds. Only set on a declined card.
