Hi there!

#

What do you mean by "how will the customer receive it"?

Hi @cyan ingot

#

Basically atm when we create a subscription the automation will send the invoice to the customer I am using this API call "https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoices/{{_GEN_1670230780568__id}}/send"

#

I tried to use the same API call for a scheduled subscription but i get an error message

#

#

So you are using Zappier? We know nothing about Zapier here, so it will be tricky to help.
Can you share more details about what you are doing and what exactly is failing?

#

I am creating scheduled subscription using "https://api.stripe.com/v1/subscription_schedules"

#

it works, meaning that it does create a subscription that will start on a later time

#

but how will the scheduled subscription behave?

#

will the customer be notified when is about to start?

If you set collection_method: charge_automatically (the default value), Stripe will automatically try to charge the default payment method of the customer/subscription (if any)
If you set collection_method:send_invoice, the customer will receive an invoice by email.

ok

#

what if I set collection_method: charge_automatically and the customer payment method expired or changed, what would happen than?

#

The payment will fail. And what will happen next depends on your dashboard settings https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic
