Hi there!
So you have an existing subscription, and want to add an extra one-time fee to the subscription to be paid immediately?
jolly timber
Yes, I want to add price to be paid immediately in a prorated way, but it should not be one-time, meaning, it should be paid for every single future invoice.

So you want to update the price of a subscription? If so, this is covered here in detail: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade
jolly timber
Hmm, not exactly I don't want to update the single price.
I want to add an additional one.
e.g. 500$ plan + 50$ tier 3
But, tier 3 must be billed immediately.

Got it, but I think the link I shared should still apply. And you can pass proration_behavior: always_invoice to bill immediately.
jolly timber
Yup yup, agreed, just wanted to be on the same page. Thx
And additional question, would customer pay "prorated" amount (e.g. if in middle of the subscription period 25$) or an full amount of 50$ ?

Not sure, I would recommend testing that yourself to see exactly how it works. And you can use Test Clock for this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
jolly timber
Hey, I got one.
Is it possible to remove subscription item(price) at the end of billing period?
jade loom
Sure, you'd either manually trigger than update yourself or schedule it: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

As I understand this would mean that I need to migrate subscription to be managed by this schedule and not by standard subscription? Am I wrong here?
Is there any simpler way to do so?

Correct
Is there any simpler way to do so?
Make the update call to remove the item at/on the billing cycle
jolly timber
So this would mean that we need to manage when the update call is going to occur?
jade loom
Yep!
