At the time of update we generated prorations already and it will invoice your customer, so they can't continue without paying it

#

i set the prorationbehavior to always_invoice, so im expecting customers to pay that invoice as an acknowledgement.

#

i tried not paying the invoice and advance time to the next month with test clock, the customer was charged for the new amount

#

Did you see the proration resulted in an Invoice?

minor fiber Aug 8, 2022, 2:15 AM

#

yes

#

i want customers to pay for upgrades immediately, so i will invoice them right away

#

i've played around with this and found out that they can actually skip this invoice and only pay for the new upgrades in the next billing cycles

hi is it possible to set proration on subscriptionitem instead of the whole subscription?

#

basically, i want to have 1 invoice (subscription) for several subscriptionitems that are under the same category, i will set billing cycle anchor upon subscription creation, to unify the billing cycle to the same date, but customers can increase/ decrease amount of the items of each subscriptionitem and also add new/ cancel existing subscriptionitems.

and the proration should only take effect for when customers increasing amount of subscriptionitems or add new subscriptionitems, there will be no refunds for canceling subscriptions or reducing amount, so there shouldnt be proration on that

Hey, I was checking your Subscription but it was complicated

minor fiber Aug 8, 2022, 3:53 AM

#

🤣 how so

real ginkgo Aug 8, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

proration should be able to controlled per subscription item, as our API has a parameter for it: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/create#create_subscription_item-proration_behavior
