#ahmedmohamed24-subscriptins

No, i was using stripe subscriptions, and you advised me to use scheduled subscriptions
tawdry trench
yep, since that is how you can implement installments.
wary sparrow
@tawdry trench I managed to handle it
but I want to process the first installment immediatly
tawdry trench
sounds good, what have you tried?
it's completely possible to implement things that way, you can create a subscription and start it as normal(to charge the first installment, and then migrate the subscription to a schedule after creation, as covered in the docs. You can also use a Schedule to create a Subscription immediately, that works too

this example of my request

}
],

}

I want to accomplish this
any advice?
tawdry trench
you can create a schedule where the start_date of the first phase is 'now', which starts a subscription immediately.
wary sparrow
I've sent start_date:now and this didn't make it start
tawdry trench
what's the ID of the subscription schedule you created?
sub_sched_xxx I think is the format.
wary sparrow
sub_sched_1LVZiiFGAxI4c6sWayh2xMdl
tawdry trench
that did create a subscription, sub_1LVZiiFGAxI4c6sWqi1TScLS .
wary sparrow
I noticed that from the dashboard, but i don't know what does this mean

not sure I understand you, what can I clarify?
do note that when creating a subscription this way, the first payment takes an hour to happen as we leave the first invoice open for an hour in a draft. You can force it to be paid immediately though if desired.
wary sparrow
why hadn't the subscription schedule started immediately?

it has.
