I think that will work. Try it out in test mode though

#

You'd also want to handle prorations accordingly

#

my goal is, they get a 14 day trial, but decide to upgrade plans. i want to update that subscription. end the trial immediately but keep their cycle date set to the 1st

#

Yep try it out in test mode. Pretty sure your suggestion will work

#

as a follow up, if i have an account who has collections paused, (voiding invoices) is there a way im missing to resume collections, invoice them for the remainder of that month without altering their billing cycle?

Hm not sure off-hand if this will work, but you could try manually unpausing: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause#unpausing then setting billing_cycle_anchor to unchanged

#

Recommend you test that out in test mode as well

#

That may or may not generate a prorated invoice. I'm not 100% sure

sad_cat it does not

Hi 👋

So you have a customer that has paused collections, you want to un-pause them. What occurs when you do?

abstract moss Jun 2, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

my goal is when i unpause their collections i want to not alter the billing cycle date but immediately charge them a prorated amount for whatever time remains until their next normal invoice

#

so for example, a customer pauses collections on subscription A which is $20/mo (billed on the first of each month) then 2 months later they resume payment on the 15th of the month, i want to issue an invoice for $10 (half the cost because half the month is gone)

#

Hmmm....

#

Do you have an example request where you unpaused the subscription and the user was billed the full amount?

abstract moss Jun 2, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

that's the issue it's getting unpaused and they're not being billed anything until the 1st

pearl sleet Jun 2, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

Do you have the request where you unpause the subscription?

abstract moss Jun 2, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

req_tA1LMuza5pKDkp <- pausing it, req_No1GwtD9pCpKVS <- unpausing it

pearl sleet Jun 2, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

What happens if you unpause and pass the proration_behavior parameter as 'always_invoice'?

abstract moss Jun 2, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

tried that too 😉 req_tCaKU9zrJQ33Dp

pearl sleet Jun 2, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

And no new invoice is generated , since the latest invoice associated with that subscription is still the void one
