Hello @fresh crown Can you give me a bit more details/context? We don't support ShippingRate on Subscription today as far as I know
fresh crown
Yeah i see that, so what i did is, i just added is as a product.
I created a product called shipping rate and its a recurring
Then that is what i am using to act as a shipping rate
I successfully update the subscription after the checkout
But the problem is the “shipping rate product” that i added is reflecting on Aug 24 - Oct 8 (First Invoice Date)
For the upcoming invoice i am getting 2 shipping rate products
See the screenshot

dreamy topaz
that's because of proration
when you're adding shipping as a Product it's a new Price, we prorate for the remainder of the month
fresh crown
i set proration to none
dreamy topaz
and then next month you'll charge for both
I mean you didn't it's right there with the "remaining time"
fresh crown
i see, so is there a way to remove the prorate product for the first month?
or am i adding the "shipping product" right?
fresh crown
its a normal product
dreamy topaz
it doesn't make sense to create a Subscription on Price A with an invoice item for shipping B, and then update the Subscription to add B to Price A for the future
fresh crown
but when i create the subscription, i add the initial shipping on **add_invoice_items **not in the items cause the first shipping can be free
referring here
@dreamy topaz
fresh crown
actually i am open to suggestion cause i am still exploring how to implement this.
right now that is the only way i think to do it
and also for the first month, the shipping is dynamic
dreamy topaz
Sorry Discord is busy and I barely understand what you're doing 😅
Ultimately: if all you want is to update and add the new Price and no proration, then you can do that
show me the exact Subscription id and I'll show you what you missed
fresh crown
even i set the proration_behavior to none on creation?
dreamy topaz
ah that's the problem
proration_behavior is not a setting for the Subscription. It's per request. Every time you touch a Subscription, you tell us "as you make the change please prorate (or don't)"
fresh crown
so meaning, when i add the product i need to pass proration_behavior?
dreamy topaz
yes.
dreamy topaz
every time you call https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update you have to pass proration_behavior
fresh crown
i got the same result
dreamy topaz
yay

so now taking a step back
You want someone to pay $100 a month for Price A. You also want a shipping fee and you did Price B for it.
Every month they pay for both
But sometimes, shipping is cheaper, but not all the time. Only the first time? More?
fresh crown
The first time, shipping can be more, if they order more products.
Cause we allow one time product
and subscription product
in 1 checkout
like at the same time
dreamy topaz
ah I see
fresh crown
so for the first payment, they are paying the one time products and the product they subscribe.
dreamy topaz
And you don't want to have a separate "additional shipping fee" because it's meh
fresh crown
then the succeeding months only the subscribed product
dreamy topaz
So yeah your plan works fine
fresh crown
yea thanks for the help.
dreamy topaz
You could use SubscriptionSchedule to "plan" the addition of the Shipping fee next month, but it's a lot more convoluted
