        $plan = Plan::findOrFail($request->get('plan'));

        \Auth::user() //make sure your user is signed in and use the authenticated user
            ->newSubscription('main', $request->plan) //You just send the name of the subscription in Stripe, not the object
            ->create($request->stripeToken);
