If the price is set to yearly price, then it will only show the charged time period on one year basis and it can't be broken down to two line items for two different periods
severe pewter
Are you able to check this?

Can you please let me know it is correct or not?

From https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1N9jhVBn72Zx8mpCeakkmAFq, I only see the subscription was subscribed to one year plan
severe pewter
How can I make that as per the user selection?
like if user select 2 then it will be subscribed for 2 years.

Hi @severe pewter I'm taking over this thread
severe pewter
Sure please
tacit cliff
https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/create?lang=dotnet#create_price-recurring you should create another price with interval set to year and interval_count set to 2, and use this price to bill your customer once every 2 years.
severe pewter
I have already price_id form the stripe product. with that this a causing any issue?
tacit cliff
What's the price ID?
severe pewter
Here it is

tacit cliff
Sorry, the maximum billing period is one year, so what I mentioned earlier doesn't work.
severe pewter
so how can I fix that for the 2 years? with recurring payments
tacit cliff
I don't have a solution at this moment. Can you reach out to Stripe support and see if they have other suggestions? https://support.stripe.com/contact/email
severe pewter
As simple I have a product price of $240. I have selected the 2 years so recurring payment work like 1st year $120 and 2nd year $120. and want the 2-year subscription. is that possible?
tacit cliff
Just to clarify, it's still a yearly subscription, it's just that you want it to be automatically cancelled after 2 years, am I right?
severe pewter
yes, correct and I need to show into the invoice that like it's 2 years subscription.
tacit cliff
You can use subscription schedule to automate it https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create?lang=dotnet#create_subscription_schedule, so you just need to add one phase with the yearly price and set the iterations to 2, and also set end_behaviour to cancel so that the subscription will be canceled in 2 years.
About the invoices, Stripe will generate the invoice upon renewal, so your customer will receive first invoice upon subscription, and 2nd invoice 1 year later
severe pewter
Are you able to update my code?
tacit cliff
I'm afraid that I can't write code for you. I'd suggest you to take a look at the API reference that I sent earlier. the API doc provides example code.
severe pewter
sure, let me try that and get back to you
Can you please check is this correct now?
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules/sub_sched_1NAQIABn72Zx8mpC0ASa3Ahf
tacit cliff
You set iterations to 3, so you want to create a 3-year subscription instead of 2-year?
tacit cliff
Yes, it looks good to me.
severe pewter
okay but when I try with the monthly price then in the iterations I need to set months?
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules/sub_sched_1NAQO8Bn72Zx8mpCiwjnyx0p
see this it's showing only 3 months. I've selected 3 years
tacit cliff
You mean monthly subscription for 3 years? if so the iteractions should be 36
severe pewter
okay noted. and can you please let me know how can I add the metadata to it?
I'm trying like this right now but it's not visible
$subscription = $stripe->subscriptionSchedules->create([
'customer' => $customer->id,
'start_date' => $start_dates,
'end_behavior' => 'cancel',
'phases' => [
[
'items' => [
[
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
],
],
'metadata' => [
'payment_splits' => $payment_total_splits,
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
'maintenance_period' => $maintenance_period,
'num_years' => $num_years,
],
'iterations' => (int)$payment_splits,
],
],
]);
tacit cliff
Metadata on a schedule’s phase will update the underlying subscription’s metadata when the phase is entered.
Did you check the subscription's metadata?
severe pewter
Yes in the subscription that works but with this it's not work. can you please check both code and let me know where I need to put?
Old code works with meta data
\Stripe\Subscription::create([
'customer' => $customer->id,
'items' => [
[
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
],
],
'collection_method' => 'charge_automatically',
'trial_period_days' => $trial_days,
'proration_behavior' => 'none',
'payment_behavior' => 'default_incomplete',
'expand' => ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
'metadata' => [
'payment_splits' => $payment_total_splits,
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
'maintenance_period' => $maintenance_period,
'num_years' => $num_years,
],
])
New code works but not showing metadata
$stripe->subscriptionSchedules->create([
'customer' => $customer->id,
'start_date' => $start_dates,
'end_behavior' => 'cancel',
'phases' => [
[
'items' => [
[
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
],
],
'metadata' => [
'payment_splits' => $payment_total_splits,
'price' => $price_id,
'quantity' => $quantity,
'maintenance_period' => $maintenance_period,
'num_years' => $num_years,
],
'iterations' => (int)$payment_splits,
],
],
])
tacit cliff
What do you mean by "doesn't work" ?
severe pewter
Meta data not visible with new code
Check this https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules/sub_sched_1NAQkABn72Zx8mpCL0dDhOVq
Not showing any metadata
tacit cliff
The metadata is set on the phase, i'll be applied to the subscription object that schedule would create, not on the subscription schedule itself.
If you want to set a metadata on the subscription schedule object, set it on https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/object?lang=dotnet#subscription_schedule_object-metadata
severe pewter
Okay
Also I'm getting this error
parameter_invalid_integer - start_date
Invalid integer: false
When I'm trying to add a start date like this 2024-03-15
with 2023 it's works fine
tacit cliff
Hi! Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
tacit cliff
Hi, discord is busy, I'm be with you shortly
problem is here -> start_date: "false", you should put a timestamp value here.
severe pewter
I'm using this
$start_dates = strtotime($jsonObj->start_date);
$jsonObj->start_date is
"2024-03-15"
tacit cliff
you might want to do an echo $start_dates in your php code and see its value. Based on the request log, the value of $start_dates is "false"
Based on the doc https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php, strtotime would return false if parsing is unsuccessful.
severe pewter
this is solved.
but still metadata not showing, I've tried same code which you shared with me
tacit cliff
request ID?
severe pewter
tacit cliff
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_oJdJVu0yOljxJk I can see that you have successfully set a metadata
severe pewter
but it's not showing on this page.
Before that is showing
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules/sub_sched_1NARSLBn72Zx8mpCVhG1gTNO
tacit cliff
Hmm, I don't think the subscription schedule Dashboard shows the metadata
severe pewter
Can you please check that if is possible or not?
tacit cliff
I've checked, the metadata is set successfully, it's just that the metadata is not displayed in the Dashboard.
severe pewter
Is that possible to display?
tacit cliff
You can always use API to retrieve the subscription schedule object and check its metadata.
tacit cliff
Thanks for the feedback, can I suggest you to reach out to Stripe support and let them know about your feature request? https://support.stripe.com/contact/email
