Hi 👋

I think the best option there would be to use a Subscription Schedule.
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

You would create the first phase for the initial month, then use a $0 price for the next 6 months, then switch to a regular monthly price after that.

Is that mean custom subscription schedule ?

#

thats great!

#

am i need to create price with 0$?

#

You can read up on it but yes, you can create a schedule that steps through different phases (changing prices, iterations, quantities, etc.).

#

Yes

#

You still need to create all the necessary records.

#

ah okay, Is that iteration mean the period of time-range/month

restive torrent Oct 31, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

Right, so let's say you had a Price with an amount of $0/month

#

You set the iterations to 6 and it would repeat for 6 months

#

Then the next phase would start

#

that's very good! each time the phase end with end date, I can create new price charge with custom end dates and so on... with iterations.

#

And for whatever is the last behavior you want to do, you can just set the end_behavior to release. That will end the schedule but keep the regular subscription going.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior

#

So if your last phase was to charge the user $20/month and that's what you wanted to be the regular interval

#

You could set the last phase of the schedule to do that for 1 month and when that month is over it will just keep doing the same thing until you cancel

#

that's what I thinking right now

#

release doesn't mean ending subscription but it was setting it to regular last phase subscription price. am I right?

restive torrent Oct 31, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

Yes, that's correct. release means it just keeps doing whatever the last phase was
