hello! what do you mean by subscription fee? can you give an example?
visual elbow
@warm totem lets continue the conversation in this thread
warm totem
yes please
visual elbow
yes, you can change the price anytime. See https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade
warm totem
and it is mandatory to let our users to know ahead of time
in case the price changes, right?
visual elbow
i would assume so? If i were a customer, i would be pretty unhappy if you didn't inform me you were going to make a price change
i can't comment on legal obligations here though
warm totem
so you cannot tell in terms of legal issues right?
visual elbow
no, we can't advise you on legal issues
warm totem
what is usual protocol for other services
when the monthly subs price changes
could u guide us in this matter?
visual elbow
We can't advise on the usual protocol for other services when the monthly subs price changes ,every company has their own process to follow.
warm totem
but im sure u can give us some plausible example

for dev, when making subscription service, unique ID is created for each subscribed user, rather then ONE unique ID created for 'ONE subscription service' that encorporates ALL subscribed users, right?
then, if we were to make changes in subscription price or policy, we have to make changes to individual user ID?

Hi @warm totem I'm taking over, are you asking if subscription ID will change when you update the subscription?
warm totem
yes
for example
when we make changes to subscription model,
lets say, changing price to 10usd to 20usd
if unique ID is bestowed upon each users
instead of one subscription model (10 usd everymonth)
we would have to make changes manually to ALL users with their IDs, right?
frosty sundial
The unique ID in this context, do refer to price ID, subscription ID or customer ID?
warm totem
subscription ID
it seems like it's created uniquely for each users
instead of our subscription model
frosty sundial
A unique ID is create for each subscription, regarless of the pricing model. Perhaps you can tell me the problem that you are trying so solve, so that I can propose a solution accordinlgy.
warm totem
so if i understood correctly,
as-is
subscription model A : 10 USD every month
100 subscribed users
to-be
subscription model A : '20' USD every month
100 subscribed users
if subscription ID is created to each 100 users, then we would have to make changes to each 100 user's subscription IDs manually, right?
what if the subscription ID is bestowed upon subscription model, thus, having to only change ONE TIME for subscription model changes, instead of "100" times for each unique users
frosty sundial
You can call this API to update a subscription (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription)./
I don't quite understand what you mean by "having to only change ONE TIME for subscription model changes, instead of "100" times for each unique users" . But Stripe doesn't provide batch API to update more than one subscription. So you have to make 100 API call to update 100 subscriptions.
