hi
urban garden
You have an existing subscription with a trial, and you want to end the trial at the end of the current billing cycle?
Or are you creating a brand new subscription?
wooden edge
I have made it the end of the trial, but I also want to test whether its next cycle is positive
urban garden
I'm sorry I don't understand your question. What are you trying to do? Set a trial, or test something?

-
I generated a subscription order that is free for 7 days and paid monthly
-
I manually trigger the end of trial, and then I want to test whether the next cycle of this order is normal
urban garden
To test subscriptions, I recommend using Test Clocks: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
This allows you to move subscriptions forward in time.
wooden edge
But I don't know how to associate my subscription ID with test_ clock
urban garden
It's a 3 step process:
- Create a test clock
- Create a customer with that test clock
- Create a subscription with that customer
And now you can move the test clock forward in time to change the time of the subscription

Can I use this method to test his every cycle
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions. update('sub_49ty4767H20z6a', {
billing_ cycle_ anchor: 'now',
proration_ behavior: 'create_ prorations',
});
I strongly recommend using test clocks to test subscriptions. And if you run into issues I'm happy to help!
Note that you can use test clock from the dashboard if needed.

I want to view the invoice records of existing subscriptions. How can I use stripe cli to query
urban garden
With the API you can list invoice for a specific subscription using https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/list

Hi, I want to generate a subscription order every six months, but I find only year, month, day, week
brittle thistle
Yup, you can't do that without a schedule: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

thx

You'd use billing clocks

How session uses an existing subscription，
I'm stuck in this step
brittle thistle
Checkout can't use an existing subscription unfortunately

When I use chechout to generate a subscription mode to start a 7-day free monthly plan, the fee will be deducted automatically after the trial, and it will also be deducted automatically every month. I want to know if there is any problem with my understanding
brittle thistle
Nope, that's correct. That's how it works yep
wooden edge
I just don't know how to test it, because checout can't associate with an existing subscription😟
brittle thistle
You'd use billing clocks: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
That will simulate billing scenarios in the future, such as renewals
wooden edge
Can interval be set every hour
bright copper
no that's not possible
this is why my colleague suggested test clocks
this is the best way to test billing scenarios

test_ Clock cannot be created from an existing subscription. Generally, I should test an existing subscription
bright copper
that doesn't work, but you could recreate a new subscription that replicates the existing one
wooden edge
Every time the subscription created by cheout is new, I can't find a way to set it to an existing subscription

How can I recreate a new subscription that replicates the existing one
bright copper
using the same parameters and you can backdate it to the same creation date
wooden edge
Can I find it in the docs.
