billing_anchor must be a future timestamp:

ok but like i have a doubt how to set-it up accordingly in such a way that if i want my customers billing to happend on 1st of each month
Like for today i can set a billing_anchor for 5 days then next billing date is of 5 days.
but if a customer subscribes on 20th of month an i want its billing cycle for 1st of month.

Hi! I'm taking over from my colleague. Please, give me a moment to catch up.
You can set it to be the 1st of next month.
tame fable
yes sure!

You can set it to be the 1st of next month.
uhmm can u elaborate since users can subscribe to any day of the month how can i set it up for 1st of next month exactly.
forest crown
You can find what month it is now, increase it by 1 and set date to 1st 00:00.
tame fable
you mean the billing cycle anchor
forest crown
const nextMonth = new Date();
nextMonth.setMonth(nextMonth.getMonth()+1);
nextMonth.setDate(1);
nextMonth.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
const unixTimestamp = nextMonth.getTime() / 1000;
console.log(unixTimestamp);
what if like a users subscribes on like say 2nd of june what happens in that case?
forest crown
It's set to 1st of July
tame fable
okkk sure!
thanks
