hi
I'm not sure I follow your example. Can you give more details?
maintaining a subscription needs a recurring plan on stripe, if works fine for monthly or yearly plans, but our plans get created with more than 1 year duration and we want the payment for all the years in advance. but recurring subscription does not allow to charge for more than 1 year at once.
So you want to create a subscription that is isn't billing monthly or yearly, but instead billing for more than a year?
but payment for all the years in advance
What does that mean? Can you show a concrete example? Like:
- User create a subscription today and pay XXX
- Then on date YYY, the subscription renew and they need to pay ZZZ
- a user is subscribed to us today and bought a 5 year plan having 10$ per year pricing. he pays 50$ while purchasing the subscription. 2. Now he wants to upgrade to some other plan, so the subscription is updated and he is charged only for the extra amount after proration.
- a user is subscribed to us today and bought a 5 year plan having 10$ per year pricing. he pays 50$ while purchasing the subscription.
Unfortunately I don't think that's possible. Unless you make the subscription free, and add a one time fee of 50$ to start the subscription. But then prorations won't work properly.
but why does stripe don't have more than 1 year plans?
I'm not sure why, but yes the interval is either day, week, month or year as mentioned here https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/create#create_price-recurring-interval
okay, thanks
