I’m trying to create a checkout session using the native stripe plugin that creates a subscription with a 7 day free trial. I’ve checked out the API docs, and still having a little trouble. How can I add the subscription_data.trial_period_days parameter to the Checkout action? [Screenshot 2023-03-14 173846] [Screenshot 2023-03-14 173645]

Bumping this to see if I can get some help

You are trying to add the parameter to the metadata. If the weweb integration doesn’t have all the options you need you can always use an api request action.

Just be sure to make the actual api call from your backend, then call your backend endpoint from weweb

Why, what’s the difference? I made the Stripe API call via weweb? Is that not a best practice?

[image] Connect ChatGPT API How do I? From the docs it’s cristal clear that calls to the api must be done from your backend. @aeynaud you are still sending your api key to the users, so they can now use it to make any call to openai on your behalf without using your app. A custom element is not the tool you need here. @shrek the option “make this request through a server” in weweb is only meant as a workaround for api that don’t handle CORS. All the request settings are still in your weweb app and are transmitted to the browser, s…

Hmmm interesting, so this effectively means that any private API call should be done from the backend for security reasons?

Yes - you should never expose your private keys from Stripe (or any other service) to the front end. Anyone could then pick them up and use them as they see fit. Lots of people have seen lots of bills due to use from malign actors arising from this security hole. Stripe has two keys you can work with. One is designed to be used from the front end, but is more limited in what it can do for this kind of situation. But most of the time you want to proxy your stripe requests through your backend (e.g. Xano etc).
