Hello, we have a way to do this with tiered pricing I believe. Looking for the doc on this
If you define tiers with tiers_mode=graduated, the quantity will determine the price for all of the seats, not just the ones at each tier

got it. So I want graduated pricing not volume?
for all 26 people to be lowered to the $18 once that 26th is active

Apologies, I mixed them up
Volume based pricing is the one that does what we want here:
Under volume-based pricing, a customer with 5 projects is charged 35 USD at the end of the period: 7 USD for each of the 5 projects. However, if they accumulate 6 projects the following month, then all projects are billed at the 6-10 rate. That month, they’re charged 39 USD (6.50 × 6).

I was going to say, I think its volume
But kk glad we're on the same page haha
thank you
@stiff nexus would this still work if all 26 people say are different customers with different custIds?
because that is how I am needing it to work
the same custId wont have more than one
stiff nexus
Unfortunately not. Stripe subscriptions work on a per-customer basis. There isn't a way to tell our API "these Subscriptions across multiple customers are all the same entity"
So in that case, you will need to track the total number of customers yourself and then update the price up or down based on that count

@stiff nexus got it. So if a price has an active subscription, I can't modify that price tho right? I would have to create a new price?
if that's true.. really there is no way to really do is, is there?
stiff nexus
Yes, you will need a price defined for the amount that you want to charge your users for their subscriptions
You can use the price_data has to define ad-hoc prices if you want. They don't require a separate call to create a price object. So this may make sense to do if you don't have set tiers for everyone for this https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-items-price_data
