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.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
