[#7624] Stripe Prorating

Hi all,
We've generated a coupon code for a recurring subscription that discounted the first month only (prorated amount). It is worth noting this was an upgrade from one subscription to another (our settings only allow 1 user subscription so it always cancels any other active subscription). The payment appeared to go through however in our admin it showed as not paid. When checking with Stripe, they said it was "incomplete" and needed to be re-run. They further mentioned that we may want to ensure payment methods are applied when proration is applied.
Can you please confirm this should work as expected? Or is there a change that is needed from CBSubs? We will be completely cancelling the users subscription and trying to run it again. Thank you

Ensure CB, CBSubs, and CBSubs Stripe are both up to date. Then check the API version within Stripe and in CBSubs Stripe to ensure you're up to date (latest API version 2019-05-16 is supported). For a recurring subscription if the first payment is discounted the subscription at Stripe is put into a Trial period and the initial payment is done as a charge. Check within CBSubs > Notifications to see if your site received the notification for the payment. If not check within CBSubs > History Log to see if an error logged for the payment.

Hi
CBSubs, Joomla & Stripe are all on the latest versions. I’ve checked everything & only see the following in the history logs:

Error Log:
stripe Stripe Payment Intent API HTTPS POST request to payment gateway server failed.

Change Log:
Updating payment basket status: Pending because of event received: subscr_signup. Previous status was: NotInitiated

We processed this twice & both times we received the same result. We have many other payments working as intended so hopefully this is an isolated event. It shows as “trial period” in stripe as you suggested, however it shows as “incomplete” there. There must be something to do with the trial/proration being submitted properly.

I had to manually “Pay Now” for the user and for some reason it set their account to “Not Auto recurring” / “Manual”. I’ve had to edit their subscription to set it back to auto recurring mandatory. Please let me know how we should proceed?

Error Log:

Looks like the API request to Stripes payment intents endpoint failed entirely. Did you be sure everything is up to date and update the API version in CBSubs Stripe within your Stripe account to be sure you're using latest implementation?

Yes sir,
Stripe dashboard version: 2019-05-16
CBSubs version: 2019-03-14
CB version: 2.4.2
Joomla version: 3.9.8 (I do see there is 3.9.9 available today but it wasn't at the time, I will wait for a resolution before updating)

I tried this multiple times (twice) and got the same result. I would think it was possible for a server issue or something but since it was multiple times at very different times (more than 24 hours apart), it cannot be coincidental.
Please let me know how to proceed?

Within Stripe > Developers > Logs you should be able to see failed API attempts there. If you don't then the request to Stripe was entirely blocked. If the request was entirely blocked it'd be a problem with your server or site.

You said you manually paid their subscription after seeing this. Did they actually pay you though? When this happens no payment should've exchanged since the initial process failed. If the subscription is trialing with no initial payment then the user never paid the initial payment.

This only happens while using a coupon correct? This works fine when not using a coupon? If this is the case does this happen on every recurring subscription with a coupon? I was not able to confirm any issues with coupons being applied to a recurring subscription in my tests.
