Hi! Let me help you with this.
Do you want to split payment for an existing subscription?
Or create a new subscription with payment intervals of: 1/2 year -> 1/2 year -> 1 year -> 1 year -> ...

I want to create a new one, with the intervals you wrote
spare frost
There are a few ways:
- Create 1st subscription with intervals of 6 months, and then cancel. After that create a 2nd subscription with intervals of 12 months (specified on the price).
- Create a subscription with 6 months of trial period, and add an upfront cost, equivalent of the first 6 months.

oh thats a great idea ๐
thank you very much
in the second option I need to set the price after 1 year?
for example if the annual sub price is 200$, I create a sub with 100 upfront + 100/year than after a year I have to change it to 200?

For option 2 you need to do upfront cost of $100 and $200/year. If you add a trial of 6 months, the user will only be charged $100 after trial.

ah, great, I didn't know that
spare frost
Actually, the second option will not work, because then your billing day will be the one after the trial end.
I would actually recommend the first option.
north hemlock
ah yes, I just wanted to write that I can not set it up like you suggested
can I apply a one time discount for the subscription part?
spare frost
Yes, that's another idea. You can apply a discount for the second part of first year. And them invoice them after 6 months.

is there a way to automatically apply the coupon?
I've already created the payment link

There's an advanced feature called Subscription Schedule API:
- https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
- https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#installment-plans
It might be fitting for your case, but it's a little difficult to work with.

Yes you can pre-fill promo codes for Payment Links with a query parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links#url-parameters

ah great. I think in the end we will use the first option with two subscriptions. It will be more compatible with our administration
spare frost
Sure. Let me know if you have any other questions.
