How do I create a Stripe subscription?

Short answer: You can create subscription in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Create Subscription action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Subscription.

What does the Create Subscription action do in Stripe?

Creates a recurring subscription for a customer against one or more prices, with optional trial period, coupon, and metadata. Standard for converting a signed-up customer into recurring MRR.

What inputs does Create Subscription require?

Required: Customer ID, Price ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Stripe returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Subscription support batch operations?

Run Create Subscription inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Stripe's rate limits.
