So you would need to build that with Stripe Connect. Each of your users would be a Connect account, and each sub-user would be a Customer. The situation you outlined above would be a nonissue, since each customer has a subscription that is entirely separate from each other customer's subscription

Thank you, I will look into it. Would it still be possible to user stripe checkout for this?

[worldly edge]

Yup!

So just to make sure. If I have a parent (user) that is buying a subscription for their two kids (subusers). Then I need to create an account for the parent (using /v1/accounts), and then create a customer account for each child (/v1/customers), and then link the two?

[worldly edge]

That depends. Is the mom intending to operate as a business in this case?

[wraith spear]

No, the mom is paying us for the subscriptions

So the mom subscribes both children at the same time, and then would like to cancel 1 at a later date.

Hmmm, I don't think there's a way to model that entire relationship on Stripe. Connect accounts are businesses or individuals doing business (e.g. they get tax forms at the end of the year for payments they accepted). Customers are just end-users (e.g. consumer-level people). If you wanted to model a customer-to-customer relationship in this case, you would need a system that could track relationships on your end. So you would just have Customer A (mom), Customer B (child 1), and Customer C (child 2) on your Stripe account, and Stripe wouldn't really know they're related. Somewhere in your own database you would track that Customer A created subscriptions for Customers B and C

[wraith spear]

Ok, I am fine tracking in our own database.

I am just wondering if it possible change the subscription from 2 to 1

Because right now it just seems that if two subscribe at the same time, the only option is to cancel both

[worldly edge]

No, like I said: each subscription is standalone. They exist separate from each other. You can cancel one at a time and that will have no effect on the any other subscriptions

[wraith spear]

Ok, I must not be setting stuff up correctly now, because when I add two different prices as different line items in Stripe Checkout, I believe they are getting put in the same subscription.

[worldly edge]

Yeah, you are creating only one subscription in this case. you would need to create 2 different subscriptions, which you would have to do either via 2 different Checkout Sessions, or a custom payment workflow

You can technically do it the way you're doing it, but you would have to use Subscription Schedules and that multiplies the complexity of things by a lot

[wraith spear]

Ok, that is what it was looking like when I was researching, thanks for the help
