You will need to pass the subscription plan here with the token generated at the time of card entry.
Here is the step you can follow.
create a view page:
<form action="/subscription" method="POST" id="payment-form">
<span class="payment-errors"></span>
<div class="form-row">
<label>
<span>Card Number</span>
<input type="text" size="20" data-stripe="number">
</label>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>
<span>Expiration (MM/YY)</span>
<input type="text" size="2" data-stripe="exp_month">
</label>
<span> / </span>
<input type="text" size="2" data-stripe="exp_year">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>
<span>CVC</span>
<input type="text" size="4" data-stripe="cvc">
</label>
</div>
<input type="submit" class="submit" value="Submit Payment">
</form>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://js.stripe.com/v2/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Stripe.setPublishableKey('pk_test_TSGgkchoa9iQU4ZQ628a8Auz');
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
var $form = $('#payment-form');
$form.submit(function(event) {
// Disable the submit button to prevent repeated clicks:
$form.find('.submit').prop('disabled', true);
// Request a token from Stripe:
Stripe.card.createToken($form, stripeResponseHandler);
// Prevent the form from being submitted:
return false;
});
});
function stripeResponseHandler(status, response) {
// Grab the form:
var $form = $('#payment-form');
if (response.error) { // Problem!
// Show the errors on the form:
$form.find('.payment-errors').text(response.error.message);
$form.find('.submit').prop('disabled', false); // Re-enable submission
} else { // Token was created!
// Get the token ID:
var token = response.id;
// Insert the token ID into the form so it gets submitted to the server:
$form.append($('<input type="hidden" name="stripeToken">').val(token));
// Submit the form:
$form.get(0).submit();
}
};
</script>
and in your controller:
public function subscription(Request $request)
{
$user = User::find(1);
$creditCardToken = $request->stripeToken;
$res = $user->newSubscription('main', 'pro')
->trialDays(30)
->create($creditCardToken, [
'plan' => 'pro',
'email' => $user->email,
]);
}
