Hi 👋

Cancelling a Subscription does not automatically generate a refund. Instead it creates a Customer credit note. What is the overall behavior you are trying to achieve here?

#

i think we'll just call update subscirption with the following to get stripe subscription to stop

cancel_at_period_end: false
proration_behavior: "none",
is this correct?

#

Yes that would cause the subscription to cancel at the end of the current billing period

brazen sierra Jul 17, 2023, 4:10 PM

#

we want to have stripe stop the subscription immediately though, not end of current billing period

#

maybe we just call delete subscirption?

#

You can use the cancel_at parameter insteand which uses a timestamp: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-cancel_at

#

But if you are in the middle of the billing cycle it will generate Customer credit

#

we can invoke the customer balance API to zero out that credit right after?

#

If that is what you want, yes

thank you, i will follow up with stripe revenue recognition behavior since this channel does not offer advice for that perspective
