Hi,
First of all, are you willing to create the Subscription using Dashboard or APIs?

#

Hi! It'll be via the APIs 🙂

You can set the billing_cycle_anchor of the subscription to the 1st of January of the next year:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor
A first prorated invoice will be generated and need to be paied immediately for the remanning period of the current year. Next year, on the first of January, new billing period will begin

#

You can test this scenario using Test Clocks:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

right! gotcha. That's how I was thinking it should be set up so thank you so much for confirming! I've limited experience with Stripe so didn't want to go forcing something that wasn't suitable ahead.

#

Thanks for your help!
