Yea, that sounds right -- what you've configured will lead to the new subscription renewing (and charging) on eg Nov 14, with no proration for the current period until then

#

What result are you trying to get?

#

Do you expect a payment to happen upon creation?

#

I would like to charge the user immediately for the subscription with no proration

#

is that possible

lime delta
#

What do you mean by that?

#

In your example above, let's say the monthly fee was $10, what do you want to charge them today?

frozen egret
#

so on the previous payment service let's say they were paying $10 every 5th of the month

#

so the previous payment service got cut off at the end of september

#

so about half of the subscriptions that we are trying to migrate to Stripe have a next payment date in the past

#

so we want to charge $10 immediately with a subscription start date fo 10/5 and the next subscription payment date of 11/5

#

let me know if more info would be helpful @lime delta

Reading + thinking - just a sec

frozen egret
#

roger that

lime delta
#

OK, just needed to test to confirm

#

You've got the right idea, but you should remove the proration_behavior=none

frozen egret
#

ok

lime delta
#

let it prorate

frozen egret
#

ok

lime delta
#

as long as you set the backdated date and billing cycle anchor on nov 5 one cycle apart, this will bill for a single internal amount

frozen egret
#

alrighty

lime delta
#

ie, use the same time of day on each day

frozen egret
#

ah i see

#

ok that make sense--thanks much!

lime delta
#

itll still work with different times, but you might see the bill for like 9.87 or 10.08 etc

frozen egret
#

yeah that makes sense

lime delta
#

NP -- good luck!

frozen egret

thanks!
