    //CREANDO UN MODELO PARA LOS ROLES DEL USUARIO
    Schema::create('roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->Increments('id');
        $table->string('name')->comment('Nombre del rol del usuario');
        $table->text('description');
        $table->timestamps();
    });

    Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->bigIncrements('id');
        $table->unsignedInteger('role_id')->default(\App\Role::STUDENT);
        $table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')-> on('roles');
        $table->string('name');

    });

    Schema::create('subscriptions',function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
            $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');

Answer 1

Cashier comes with migrations that add the "customer columns" to the users table for you.

"The Cashier service provider registers its own database migration directory, so remember to migrate your database after installing the package. The Cashier migrations will add several columns to your users table as well as create a new subscriptions table to hold all of your customer's subscriptions"

Laravel 6.x Docs - Cashier - Installation

So these migrations are trying to add a column that you have added yourself.

"If you would like to prevent Cashier's migrations from running entirely, you may use the ignoreMigrations provided by Cashier."

Answer 2

If you are using the laravel/cashier, it will add the migration for the cashier columns and the subscription table for you. So you don't have to write seperate migration for this. Remove the migration for the cashier columns and subscription and try to migrate again.
