Yup. This can be done by setting the existing subscription ID in from_subscription field in Subscription Schedule Create API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-from_subscription

#

For more detailed doc, you may refer to the doc here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#managing

$stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient(

#

'from_subscription' = 'sub_mkwemwek' right??

#

if i add this from_subscription next plan will continue in this same subscription_id right?

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

Yup, the subscription ID will remain the same

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

'from_subscription' = 'sub_mkwemwek' its right form?

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

Yes, it'll be 'from_subscription' => 'sub_xxx'

Okay thanks for the info 🤝

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 4:06 AM

#

No problem! Happy to help 😄

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 4:07 AM

#

from_subscription , start_date is same?

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 4:17 AM

#

start_date refers to the timestamp when hen the subscription schedule starts.

#

It's up to your system to decide

#

If you wish to start the subscription schedule now, you can set start_date='now'

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:02 AM

#

meaning of iterations in subscription_schedule i dont understand in stripe ?

#

pls give me a simple explenation?

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 5:05 AM

#

iterations means how many cycles you want the plan to be. For example, if you want the monthly plan to last 4 months in this phase, then iterations will be set to 4.

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:06 AM

#

if I need that plan for the next cycle only then I don't need to specify that right?

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 5:16 AM

#

you can set the iterations to 1 and set end_behavioiur='release' to release the subscription schedule and the subscription will remain the same plan

#

I'd recommend testing it out with test clock in the test mode:

subscription schedule use case: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases
test clock: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:21 AM

i got error ** You cannot set phases if from_subscription is set.**

#

for this code

#

$this->stripeKey->subscriptionSchedules->create([ 'end_behavior' => 'release', 'from_subscription' => $this->model->stripe_subscription_id, 'phases' => [ [ 'items' => [ [ 'price' => $plan->stripe_id, ], ], 'iterations' => 1, ], ], ]);

frigid arch Sep 19, 2022, 5:32 AM

#

Yup, you should create the subscription schedule with only from_subscription, then update the phases in subscription schedule.

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:36 AM

#

create with from subscription and again updating the plan to that subscription schedule.?

somber stump Sep 19, 2022, 5:38 AM

#

Hi @obtuse root I'm taking over

#

from_subscription and phases are mutually exclusive, so you should create a subscription schedule with from_subscription first, and then update it.

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:44 AM

#

`$subscriptionSchedules = $this->stripeKey->subscriptionSchedules->create([
'end_behavior' => 'release',
'from_subscription' => $this->model->stripe_subscription_id,

        ]); 

        $this->stripeKey->subscriptionSchedules->update(
            $subscriptionSchedules->id,
            [
                'end_behavior' => 'release',
                'phases' => [
                    [

is right?

somber stump Sep 19, 2022, 5:45 AM

Yes

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 5:53 AM

I faced this error The subscription schedule update is missing at least one phase with a start_date to anchor end dates to. !

somber stump Sep 19, 2022, 5:55 AM

#

you need to specify a start_date for the phase

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 6:04 AM

#

inside the phase??

#

can I specify the start_date like the end date of the current subscription right?

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 6:23 AM

#

??

somber stump Sep 19, 2022, 6:40 AM

Can you share with me the ID of the created subscription schedule?

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 6:40 AM

#

i created like this

$subscriptionSchedules = $this->stripeKey->subscriptionSchedules->create([
'from_subscription' => $this->model->stripe_subscription_id,
]);

somber stump Sep 19, 2022, 6:44 AM

#

Thanks, the end_date of one phase will always equal the start_date of the next phase, so you shall specify the start_date of the new phase that you wish to add in.

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 6:44 AM

#

whee i can add that start date ?

You should put start_date in the item of the phases, something like this

'phases' => [

                        [
                        'start_date' => $subscription->current_period_end,

You should include the current phase of the subscription schedule in the phases array together with the new phase.

obtuse root how to delete the subscription shedule?

do you want to keep the subscription ongoing after you release the schedule?

#

or do you want it to stop the subscription

obtuse root Sep 19, 2022, 9:42 AM

#

I just want to remove the schedule only?

gloomy socket Sep 19, 2022, 9:43 AM

#

Basically you can either cancel a schedule https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/cancel
or release the schedule https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/release

Stripe API reference – Cancel a schedule – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

Stripe API reference – Release a schedule – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

when you cancel a schedule the subscription will be cancelled as well

#

when you release it the subscription would still be ongoing
