Hi there!
Yes the free trial will apply to the whole subscription.
Another way to look at it, is you want to the customer to pay for the new line item in 3 days?
If so, you could use subscription schedule for this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
It seems it could be this. I'm gonna check !
Does the schedule object become NULL when all the phases are done ?
What happens to the subscription schedule when all phases are done depends on this parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create?lang=dotnet#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior
I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you clarify?
Yes
i have created a plan with a trial period. If i attach this plan to my existing subscription, the trial will be be automaticaly applied for the whole subscription
👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.
Ok 🙂
the trial period is applied to subscriptions not products/prices
Yes, that's why schedule/phases wouldn't do the job if i add a plan (with a trial period attached) as a new subscription item. The trial period defined on the plan would automaticaly be applied on the whole subscription, right ?
really depends exactly what API call you'd make
but a trial period is always for the whole subscription
the concept of having a trial on one Product/Item our of the multiple you might have on a single subscription, is not a concept we have in our API. Sometimes people do that by adding a coupon to the subscription equal to the amount of one of the Prices, and then removing it when the 'trial' is over, for example.
or again, you could use a Schedule and say "from date X to date Y, there are 2 Prices, and then after that there are 3 Prices".
Yes that's it. I should have not defined any trial period for my plans, and instead use schedules for more flexibility
