Subscribe Users Manually
Prerequisites
You will need to have details on:
-
The package(s) the user will subscribe
-
The user who is going to be subscribed to the package
If neither the user nor package exist yet in Kana, then you should create these first:
Once these are created, you will need to ensure you know the id of both.
Code Sample
Basic
import { KanaAdmin } from '@usekana/admin-kana-js'; \
const client = new KanaAdmin({
apiKey: API_KEY // Replace with own Private API Key
});
const { data, error } = await client.subscriptions.create({packageIds: ["basic"], userId: "124"});
console.log(data);
console.log(error);
Example
import { KanaAdmin } from '@usekana/admin-kana-js';
const client = new KanaAdmin({
apiKey: API_KEY // Replace with own Private API Key
});
app.post('/subscribe', function(req, res){
const userId = req.body.user.id; // Assumes user object has been sent in request body to this endpoint
const packageIds = req.body.packageIds // Assumes array of packageIds has been sent in request body to this endpoint
const { data, error } = await client.subscriptions.create({packageIds: packageIds, userId: userId});
if error {
res.status(400).send("We experienced an error when attempting to susbcribe you. Try again or contact support.")
} else {
// Send back JSON response of full susbscription object
res.json(data);
}
});
Next Steps
Congratulations 🎉 You’ve now successfully redirected a user to subscribe to Kana packages through Stripe.
Upon successful payment, this user will be subscribed to the package(s) and will have access to the features within. You can now implement checks to confirm they should have access to these features (either in your frontend and/or backend) and record usage of these features - which is even more necessary when they are consumable features whereby a customer is provisioned a certain amount.
