Hello 👋
Are these 3 separate subscriptions? Or are you subscribing to 3 products but 1 is one-time product?

I have 3 products

2 out of the products have 3 different prices (subscription recurring period)
1 product has to have a single price and has to work for 1 month and then cancel itself (basically I have to be informed after 1 month has ended by an event so I can also update accordingly my app, without having an external scheduler)

#

Maybe I can edit this when creating a subscripton on that product, from api? on create subscribe api call?

#

That's one option but it could get messy with 3 separate subscriptions to manage!

#

We do have Subscriptions with multiple products option
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/multiple-products

Just trying to think how you'd 'end' subscription to 1 product

#

Ah sorry. I have 3 different subscriptions, each having it's own product

#

(i need to have a special situation in which I have to create 2 subscriptions for each user, and those 2 subscriptions have different recurring period)

#

So I just need to create for a user

2 subscriptions (for 2 different products) that has a life of 1 month

I see. In that case, you can listen to Subscription webhook event such as customer.subscription.created
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

And then update the Subscription to cancel_at_period_end by calling the API which should cancel the subscription after the first month

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/cancel?dashboard-or-api=api#cancel-at-end-of-cycle

#

ok there is no way to set a lifetime period when creating the subscription?

rapid hound Jan 18, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

There is I think. You can set cancel_at_period_end when you create the subscription as well
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-cancel_at_period_end

I've not tested it myself though so don't know what the ideal behavior would be

Stripe API reference – Create a subscription – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

I'd recommend testing it out to be 100% certain
