Hi there!

hi Soma

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

You can use this endpoint directly: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/cancel

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 9:49 AM

#

u mean - without updating cancel_at_period_end?

#

without proration?

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

In your original question you asked how to cancel a subscription immediately. The link I shared above does exactly this.

#

cancel_at_period_end is used when you want to cancel the subscription at the end of the current billing period. But you said you want to cancel the subscription immediately, so it's different.

#

without proration?
Yes by default cancelling a subscription doesn't create prorations, unless you set prorate:true

#

I recommend testing this in test mode to make sure it works as you expect.

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

ok thanks

#

which api to reactivate a subscription

#

is it resume a subscription?

#

If a customer’s subscription is canceled by updating cancel_at_period_end to true, and the subscription hasn’t yet reached the end of the billing period, it can be reactivated

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 9:56 AM

#

Once a subscription is cancelled, you cannot reactivate it. You would need to create a new subscription.

#

If a customer’s subscription is canceled by updating cancel_at_period_end to true, and the subscription hasn’t yet reached the end of the billing period, it can be reactivated
In this case yes it can be reactivated

#

Just update the subscription and set cancel_at_period_end: false

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 9:57 AM

#

what is resuming a subscription then?

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 9:58 AM

#

It's used when you pause a subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 9:58 AM

#

ok

#

yes i have that case too...to unpause should i just update a subscription with Pause_collection.resumes_at = “New timestamp”

#

or i should call resume a subscription

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 10:03 AM

#

I think both options work.

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 10:03 AM

#

ok..

#

could u please explain this from resume a sunscription - Setting the value to unchanged advances the subscription’s billing cycle anchor to the period that surrounds the current time.

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 10:07 AM

#

Where is this sentence from?

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 10:08 AM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/resume#resume_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

If you set billing_cycle_anchor: unchanged, then the billing cycle anchor won't change.
Assuming it's a monthly subscription, it means that it's billing cycle anchor will be within the last 30 days, and then will trigger the next cycle within the next 30 days.

left saffron Apr 20, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

so u mean the original billing_cycle_anchor will sustain in this case

#

?

#

set on the API call create a subscription?

keen lodge Apr 20, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

Yes

or shall i use a button to create subscription and another to confirm payment

ocean summit Apr 20, 2023, 12:16 PM

#

There's definitely should be only 1 button.
I am not familiar with your integration so it's hard for me to judge.
Are you using Payment Element?
