Hi 👋

You can change individual items for a given subscription no problem.

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

If you have the particular ID for a specific Subscription Item you can manipulate that directly.

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items

is there a way to cancel them on period_end and not right away ? because I want the user to use its feature for the remaining month instead of prorate the not used time.

[tardy echo]

it would be awsome if you have a solution for that because I feel like thats quite a common usecase, isn't it ?

If you only want to change specific price in the future date/next billing cycle, Subscription Schedule can be used. The steps will be:

1. Create Subscription Schedule from the existing Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#existing-subscription
2. Update Subscription Schedule phases and remove the price in the next phase: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/update#update_subscription_schedule-phases

Okay thank you. So for new subscriptions I can also create subscription schedules right away instead of changing them once they're needed? or is there any benefit of not having schedules right away ?

You can do either way depending on your use case.

If you know that a price has to be removed in the future during Subscription creation, you can use Subscription Schedule right away.

If the price has to be removed after the subscription is created, you can create Subscription Schedule on the existing Subscription.
