Upvotes don’t show on HN, so let me first say this is very much like our recent experience.
If those from Stripe who are reading this would like a hopefully constructive suggestion, may I suggest here the same thing I suggested to your support team?
Right on the front page of your documentation site (https://stripe.com/docs https://stripe.com/docs) you have a step-by-step walkthrough for setting up a basic subscription the old way.
If you follow through that process using one of the test cards for the new SCA behaviour (4000002500003155, say) you will see that the API effectively fails at a couple of points along the way.
Presumably either integrations need to do something extra at those points to take into account what needs to happen for SCA, or integrations need to follow different steps in the first place so they don’t run into those problems.
Either way, an equivalent step-by-step walkthrough showing how to use Stripe.js, the API and webhooks to set up a simple subscription in an SCA-compatible way would have been very helpful.
- edwinwee 7y agoThanks for the suggestion—you are right! We're working on a walkthrough that'll help with this now. Stay tuned.
