Correct, yep! Adding free trials like that will likely adjust the billing period dates and potentially add prorated charges, just be mindful of that

#

won't it just mean that, for example, if i added 10 days the next billing date will be 10 days in the future?

mortal elbow Nov 9, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

Yes, exactly. But likely also proration will occur for the time they already paid for

#

i.e. you bill be $10 on 1st, and then offer me a 7 day trial on the 5th, I need to be 'refunded' for that trial period from the 5th

#

ah, so it means that the next billing (the one after the updated one) will have 10 days less to be payed? am i understanding that correctly?

mortal elbow Nov 9, 2022, 1:42 PM

#

Yes

#

It's easy enough to test out

#

You can change this behaviour by passing proration_behavior during the same API update call

#

where can i see the proration behavior for the subscription?

mortal elbow Nov 9, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

It's not something you set at a subscription level, it's a option you configure on a per update basis

wraith talon Nov 9, 2022, 1:49 PM

#

alright, i will try updating in test mode first, thanks a lot!
