👋 Happy to help

#

Can you explain what "break" is and when do you expect proration to occur?

#

#

on this page, would the amount breakup be visible?

#

if i have provided all the subscription details?

#

like quantity and gst and proration if subscription is getting upgraded

#

If the user upgrades from an existing subscription, payment will be collected via Invoice, not Checkout Session

#

There will be line_items breakdown in the invoice

#

You can refer to the doc here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

#

so would we need to send an invoice to the email? cann't we ask on our portal itself in the same flow?

#

and if the person pays via email, how would i know that the person has paid for my subscription.

#

?

Invoice will be sent to the customer by Stripe if Email finalised invoices to customers is enabled in https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

#

If the customer paid for subscription, invoice.paid event will be sent to you: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=checkout#provision-and-monitor

#

so do we have a tiimeout to be showcased on our portal so that they go to the email and pay quickly?

#

atleast for the first time payment the quantity and everything would be visible?

#

Let's step back a bit

#

For initial subscription, user will make payment on Checkout Session if you use Checkout Session integration. It will show the the plan that listed in line_items

#

So you can redirect the customer to Checkout Session to complete the subscription signup

#

For future upgrade of the subscription, the payment will be charged to the payment method saved in the initial sign up automatically

For future upgrade of the subscription, the payment will be charged to the payment method saved in the initial sign up automatically : if we dont want automatic payment , then via the invoice on the email?

#

also, if a subscription is expired, and we create a new subscription then can we have the payment through session?

Do you plan to invoice the customer for every cycle or just for upgrading the subscription?

#

if a subscription is expired, and we create a new subscription then can we have the payment through session?
Yup, this is the recommended way

we wont charge him recursively, we will setup lets say a 5 year plan, and take all the money at once and then will pause the payment collection. after that if he upgrade to some other plan, again we need to prorate and charge him based on the new plan

sacred jay Sep 9, 2022, 6:25 AM

#

I see! In this case, you can update Subscription to collection_method=send_invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-collection_method

#

So that the payment won't be collected automatically and invoice will be sent
