Can you share what credit limit are you referring to? Any use case explanation will be helpful to understand your requirements

#

actually my clients idea for "credit" its like a loan for subscriptions for example customer would be able to use the subscription for 3 months without paying anything then after 3 months he will bill the customer for the 3 months that the customer subscribed to his product.

#

Hope I'm making a sense here

Thanks for sharing. We don't have a direct way to do this. One way I can think of is to:

Create the trial for the first 3 months: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials
At the end of the 3rd month, add the one-time invoice items to the subscription for the items used in the first 3 months, so that they will be included in the invoice for the 4th month: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-add_invoice_items

#

i'll check that.

#

or can we make use of the billing period

#

i saw we can also make a custom billing period

real lagoon Mar 21, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

Billing period here refers to how long a price will be charged. If you use flat rate or per-seat, customer will always be charged at the beginning of the billing cycle: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/pricing-models

#

also is it possible to make a subscription "auto renew". for example after the cycle period ends. can we set it to "auto renew". Is there a way to do that? and what fields do we need to modify

real lagoon Mar 21, 2023, 6:23 AM

#

Subscription doesn't end by default, so it will always auto renew every billing period you set

#

what if set it for a year then that the subscription ends?

#

If I have for example 50 customers with the same subscription. Do I need to update all that subscriptions 1 by 1?

If you set the billing period to yearly, the subscription doesn't end and will be renew yearly. Unless you explicitly to end at specific timestamp, it will not end

#

If I have for example 50 customers with the same subscription. Do I need to update all that subscriptions 1 by 1?
Yes. Each customer has its own Subscription with the same prices

real lagoon > what if set it for a year then that the subscription ends? If you set the bill...

I see. Same goes for monthly setups also?

real lagoon Mar 21, 2023, 6:41 AM

#

Yup! It will be the same for any billing period

rigid dune Mar 21, 2023, 6:42 AM

#

Nice! Thank you so much for that.
