d stuckler - payment

[minor tapir]

Hi there!

Should all payments happen at the same time?

[ocean cairn]

no - they would be staggered - initial payment 1k, then one month $500 and the following month $500. i tried 'graduated pricing' but it wasn't coming out quite right

thanks for helping Soma - couldn't seem to get to Stripe support anywhere, it steered me here...

I think you should use a subscription schedule for this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

[ocean cairn]

it looks like i need to code to do that?

yes i found that but couldn't figure out how to operationalise it...

[minor tapir]

You want to do this without code?

[ocean cairn]

is it possible?

it would seem like a relatively basic functionality...

[minor tapir]

No I don't think so.

[ocean cairn]

ah..

i guess i could have a try at figuring out the code if it's the only way

[minor tapir]

You would create a subscription schedule with 2 phases:

• Phase 1: $1000 for one month
• Phaser 2: $500 for two month
  And set end_behavior to cancel https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create?lang=python#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior

sorry to be dense here but where do i actually put this in stripe?

usually i just click on subscription and create a subscription plan (but that was only working for equal payments)

[minor tapir]

Are you a developer?

[ocean cairn]

or could i just hire someone to create this

no

Sorry, this Discord channel is for developers having technical questions, that's why I assumed you were one.
To use subscription schedule you need to be a developer.

For non technical questions, you should ask Stripe support directly: https://support.stripe.com/contact
