I'm not sure what you mean by 'reset'. Can you provide a specific example?

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:06 PM

#

Sure. On Stripe UI there's the option to update a subscription by resting the billing cycle, yuo can in the picture

#

The tooltip says "Resetting the billing cycle will issue an invoice immediately. Subsequent invoices will be anchored to today."

#

Not really familiar with the Dashboard or which API parameters that maps to, let me see

#

formal flame The tooltip says "Resetting the billing cycle will issue an invoice immediately....

Ok, and what's the question related to that?

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

What period the customer will be charged for?

#

Say the subscription was created on 17.01.23. On 01.02.23 I clicked reset the billing cycle, what exactly will happen?

hard widget Jan 31, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

We'd issue a new invoice for the period from 01/02/23, and that would be billing cycle going forward

#

Pretty easy to test this

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

and during the period of 17.01.23 to 01.02.23, the customer won't be charged?

hard widget Jan 31, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

Well they were already charged for that period when you created the subscription

#

So depending on what proration behaviour option you pass, your customer may be refunded/credited

#

I see, thank you for the quick response.

Last question - setting proration be passes possible when working with checkout session? If not, what will be the default behavior in this case?

hard widget Jan 31, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

Well Checkout can only create new subscriptions so proration isn't really relevant

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

so in our example, when reseting a subscription can result in overpayment?

hard widget Jan 31, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

Depends what you mean by 'overpayment'

#

Have you tested it?

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:36 PM

#

Not yet actually, I'd like to understand what is the expected behavior

hard widget Jan 31, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

You need to clarify exactly what it is you'd like to know. I don't know what 'overpayment' means in this context

#

If you had a monthly subscription for $10 that started on 17/011, then your customer would have paid $10 then.

If then on 01/02 you want to reset the billing cycle without prorating changes, then we will issue a new $10 invoice and the billing cycle will be fixed to 01/02

formal flame Jan 31, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

OK I understand now

#

Thank you
