The tier data would be on the price object itself I believe. Checking in to how to best retrieve this from there

[faint ravine]

(Maybe there's some distinction between plans and prices that I'm missing? I tested stripe.plans.retrieve and I also get no tiers info)

[hazy hare]

Can you send me the ID of the price or plan that you are working with?

[faint ravine]

Sure. Bear in mind this is a Production (live) id from my customer's customer (I am a B2B service)...

plan_E1LvpfHjHlgn9O

It looks like both prices and plans have tier info

https://stripe.com/docs/api/plans/object#plan_object-tiers

Running this test code in node...

  const ACCOUNT = {stripeAccount: org.stripeAccountId};
  const plan = "plan_E1LvpfHjHlgn9O";
  console.log('Retrieving...');
  result = await stripe.plans.retrieve(plan, ACCOUNT);

Gets me this output:

{
  id: 'plan_E1LvpfHjHlgn9O',
  object: 'plan',
  active: true,
  aggregate_usage: null,
  amount: null,
  amount_decimal: null,
  billing_scheme: 'tiered',
  created: 1542897100,
  currency: 'usd',
  interval: 'month',
  interval_count: 1,
  livemode: true,
  metadata: {
    description: 'Everything you need to start customization capture experiences',
    title: 'Plus'
  },
  nickname: 'Monthly',
  product: 'prod_E1LuA5RkpOciv0',
  tiers_mode: 'graduated',
  transform_usage: null,
  trial_period_days: null,
  usage_type: 'licensed'
}

It's strange, isn't it? no tiers details

[hazy hare]

Looks like that info isn't included unless you specify the tiers field to be expanded

To include it in the response, expand the tiers field.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/plans/object#plan_object-tiers

[faint ravine]

Aaaahhh! And when fetching a customer, can I also expand the tiers somehow?

[hazy hare]

So try adding expand: ['tiers]' to the retrieve call

[faint ravine]

(e.g. instead of what I currently do, {expand: ['subscriptions'] })

[hazy hare]

You might but that depends on how many levels deep the tier information is

[faint ravine]

Yes, expanding tiers when retrieving the plan worked! ✅

[hazy hare]

Nice! So we can check if this will work from the customer call, if not, you will likely have to make another call to get this info

[faint ravine]

I guess I should try:

{expand: ['subscriptions', 'subscriptions.plan.tiers'] }

[hazy hare]

You can try but I think that won't work unfortunately

[faint ravine]

A similar one worked!

  const options = {
    expand: ['subscriptions', 'subscriptions.data.plan.tiers']
  }

[hazy hare]

Nice! What worked here?

[faint ravine]

(Without the "data" the error message was very helpful, it suggested I add "data")

[hazy hare]

Ah there we go, I actually thought you needed an items.data thrown in there somewhere which would have pushed this past four levels

Happy to hear that this works!

[faint ravine]

Awesome! Thanks a lot for your assistance! 🙂

Oh, a quick thing:

I suppose if I run that code with a customer that has no tiered plans, no problems will occur, right?

[hazy hare]

Correct, the data will still just be null there
