Hi 👋

tardy dirge
#

Hi Snufkin_stripe hope you are doing well!

#

so basically I explain you what I try to do but I would love some confirmation about what I do

#

The objective is in a referral program to give some "free time" to my users. After discussing here it seems that the best option is to add phases to the subscription with trial periods

#

So my first question is: If a phase is planned with a start_day equal to the subscription collecting day am I sure that the update will be done BEFORE Stripe try to collect the money or I have no guarantee?

#

example:
Subscription every month collect 20$ the 15th of the month, I add a phase starting the 15th of may adding a 10$ item, am I sure that the 15th of may bill will be 30$ or it's not sure?

That would dependo n how you structure the Subscription Schedule.

#

If you end the phase that has the $20 charge and start a new phase that totals $30 at the time the next invoice is generated then that should work as expected

#

Yeah I plan to test it 🙂

#

Ok so if I have this subscription at 20$ per month:

{
  "id": "sub_1NNI9GLNSqtKef5aXLBG8JXs",
  "billing_cycle_anchor": 1687796264, # 15th of january 2024
  "billing_thresholds": null,
  "cancel_at": null,
  "cancel_at_period_end": false,
  "canceled_at": null,
}```

And  modify it like this:

stripe.SubscriptionSchedule.create(
customer="cus_GBHHxuvBvO26Ea",
phases=[
{
'start_date': 1577865600, 15th of march 2024
'end_date': 1580544000, # 25th of march 2024
'trial_end': 1580544000 # 25th of march 2024
},
],
)

Do we agree that the behaviour will be:
15th of january: customer pay 20$
15th of february: customer pay 20$
15th of march: customer pay 0$
25th of march: customer pay 20$
25th of april: customer pay 20$
And so on
#

which basically gave him 10 days free

Hi koopajah 🙂

#

(I edited my example I was modifying a schedule in place of creating it

#

@tardy dirge the best approach really is to just try it

tardy dirge
#

Yeah I tried it but it's not possible to make a schedule with trial through the dashboard but I just realised that there is the WebCLI I will try through that

sounds good!
