hello, what do you need help with?
also are you a developer writing a Stripe integration?
sharp plover
yes i am a dev
I need to write a script to convert existing users in our db to Stripe subscription
I just want to know if I am doing the right thing
- I have existing users that are considered premium for 1 year by default
- I have to select their subscription start date, add 1 year and create a Stripe subscription that will end up at this specific date (for each users)
My plan is the following
1 - For each user, create a new coupon on the fly with 100% free discount
2 - Create a Stripe customer matching my user, setting the email + coupon on it
3 - Create a Stripe subscription with a period start of NOW and a period end of the user's creation date (in our db) + 1 year
My issue is at #1 where I cannot create a coupon for a duration of days
i wanted to match my billing period, which will be custom per user depending on their creation date

my recommendation would be to a/ create a Subscription with a trial that ends the datetime of the next billing cycle
OR
create a SubscriptionSchedule that starts the Subscription at the right datetime in the future
