Hi! I've just setup my stripe account and wanted to go live, now I was wondering during the activation process, I need/must/should submit a VAT number, is this mandatory by stripe?

Hey

Hey guys

Any of the Stripe officials in here today?

Why not just ask your question :)

Sure...

Does anyone know if there's a way to do additional verification on a credit card after it's been captured? I mean if you have a suspicion of fraud... or is the only way to wait for a chargeback?

I guess not :/

Hi there

I’m integrating Stripe’s subscriptions, but it’s just not clear to me whether we can charge our users instantly once they signup instead of after a month

based on the docs, Stripe will charge someone after the subscirpion period and not initially

iber: when you attached a subscription to a customer, their card is immediately charged

attach*

is it specified in the docs? cause’ I can’t find it :)

just “At the end of the upcoming billing period, this customer will be charged for her normal subscription amount plus the additional $10 setup fee”

Take a look at the subscription billing guide: https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions#subscribi...

From said guide: "This customer will be charged immediately for the first month of their subscription (often called pre-billing). They will be billed $10 every month until the subscription is canceled."

doh, silly me, thank you :)

no problem :)

also, we’d like to offer “add ons” for our users, what would be the best way to add extra costs to their subscription. for instance, if someone is on $49/month plan, and they want to get an extra feature which is $10/month, should we create a new plan for them?

It depends on how many add ons you have

customers can have multiple subscriptins

it’s pretty dynamic, there are 4 addons, but they can the same addon multiple times i.e. Addon X - 4 instances

yeah, so you should create a plan for each add on

Hey guys: does anyone know how to change the customer's default card via the API?

CDC4: You'll to need to post to the /v1/customers/:id endpoint with default_card set to the id of new default card
