stripe.subscriptions.create_subscription

Create a Stripe subscription for an existing customer

Creates a Stripe subscription for an existing customer.

Acts on the CUSTOMER'S OWN Stripe account, authenticated via the org-scoped Stripe connection selected by cloud_connection_uuid.

The subscription is created immediately and is active (or trialing if trial_days is set). If the customer has a default payment method, the first invoice is paid automatically.

Inputs:

• cloud_connection_uuid: Org-scoped Stripe connection UUID (required).
• customer_id: Stripe customer ID (required), e.g. cus_ABC123
• price_id: Stripe price ID (required), e.g. price_DEF456
• trial_days: Trial period in days before billing begins (optional)
• metadata: Arbitrary key-value metadata to attach to the subscription (optional)

Outputs (terminal state_data):

• subscription_id: str — Stripe subscription ID, e.g. sub_XYZ789
• status: str — subscription status: active, trialing, incomplete, etc.
• current_period_end: str — ISO-8601 timestamp when the current billing period ends

Connection required: cloud_connection_uuid — the organization's own Stripe account credentials; there is no platform-key fallback.
