I am using STRIPE for credit card payments in my Asp.net Application. Application have an monthly subscription plan. First time when user subscribe the webhook event 'customer.subscription.created' fired. my question is what happened which events will be fired when next month subscription is renewed ? Can anyone tell me the flow on subscription renewal webhook events?

Thanks

The webhook 'invoice.payment_succeeded' actually does distinguish between the first charge of a new subscription and subsequent renewal charges.

The webhook sends an invoice object, which includes 'billing_reason' - the possible values of which are noted in the Stripe Docs - The Invoice object:

billing_reason (string) "Indicates the reason why the invoice was created. subscription_cycle indicates an invoice created by a subscription advancing into a new period. subscription_create indicates an invoice created due to creating a subscription. subscription_update indicates an invoice created due to updating a subscription. subscription is set for all old invoices to indicate either a change to a subscription or a period advancement. manual is set for all invoices unrelated to a subscription (for example: created via the invoice editor). The upcoming value is reserved for simulated invoices per the upcoming invoice endpoint."

If billing_reason == 'subscription_cycle' the webhook is for a subscription renewal.

If billing_reason == 'subscription_create' the webhook is for a brand new subscription.
