Hey @cursive vigil! Best to just ask your real question, we don't really re-open threads

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

ah, no worries

#

req_km88vQYYZNPui3

#

err.. *I'm trying to update a subscription by adding a second Price/Item

#

The API request I'm making looks like this:

stripe.Invoice.upcoming(**{
  'subscription_proration_behavior': 'always_invoice',
  'subscription_billing_cycle_anchor': 'now',
  'customer': 'cus_Mos6mXiGV6TgEx',
  'subscription': 'sub_1M5EMBCoTIfwbn28Oe5mTVFK',
  'coupon': None,
  'subscription_items': [
    {'price': 'price_1M2FdFCoTIfwbn28Vuj7loHt', 'quantity': 1, 'metadata': {}},
    {'price': 'price_1M2FdFCoTIfwbn28i4KkF0Gu', 'quantity': 1}
  ]
})

#

yeah the items is a merge between what is already on the subscription and what you are adding

#

so only pass the additional Price id, not both

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 8:42 PM

#

But if I'm replacing an item for another, I need to include it with quantity=0, right?

hushed bluff Nov 17, 2022, 8:42 PM

#

no

#

if you are replacing, the update is more complex

#

you have to pass {id : 'si_123', price: 'price_NEW'} to swap them

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 8:43 PM

#

Oh, that sounds familiar (it's been awhile since I originally wrote this code).

Does it work the same way when updating a Subscription?

hushed bluff Nov 17, 2022, 8:45 PM

#

yes

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

I can't seem to find documentation of it, and another dev earlier said they didn't think this was allowed, but does specifying deleted=True on a SubscriptionItem while fetching an upcoming Invoice do anything?

#

It seems my original code tried to send SubscriptionItems with deleted=True when adding a SubscriptionItem that was an upgrade of current SubscriptionItems

#

What version are you using? I don't see that as an option to update a Subscription Item: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/update

#

Ah, wait you mean here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-items-deleted

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 8:54 PM

#

Actually, I just found it : https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-items-deleted

#

yeah lol nice

#

But it seems like using deleted was not liked in this request: req_DQGf0KQousQoHl

gilded pier Nov 17, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

Sorry if I'm confused but that looks like a call to Create a Subscription. In that case we do not allow the items.deleted parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Gotcha, so when creating a subscription, items.deleted not allowed, but it is allowed for Invoice.upcoming or to update a subscription?

#

I guess it makes sense to now allow it for creating a Subscription, somehow I think my code got confused and slipped it in there.

gilded pier Nov 17, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Yes. Because why would you pass an item that you immediately wanted deleted

#

If you don't want that item on the Sub, don't pass it. But if you have an item already on an existing Sub and you want to remove it, that makes sense

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

So, since the "upcoming Invoice" is a merge on items as noted by koopajah above, I don't need to specify any existing items in my "Invoice upcoming" or my "Subscription updated" calls unless I'm deleting them, right?

gilded pier Nov 17, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

Correct

cursive vigil Nov 17, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

Okay! Thanks for helping clarify all this 🙂
