hello! By Stripe Console, do you mean the Dashboard?
cerulean sparrow
Yes
How can I update or migrate my existing users to a new subscriptions?
We are worried about two things:
- Would they have to resubscribe again
- How would payment be dealt for this new subscription?
robust sand
are these existing customers on your account, or you're migrating from another payment provider?

and do you want to update the price at the end of the billing period or immediately?

at the end of the billing period
robust sand
you can use Subscription Schedules to schedule the price update at the end of the billing period then : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
in case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
you'll want to create a Subscription Schedule from an existing Subscription first, then update the Subscription schedule to make the changes you want

Does this create a new payment intent ID? If we change the price
robust sand
if you update the price at the end of the billing period, then when the subscription is renewed, a new Invoice is naturally going to be generated (and a PaymentIntent)
cerulean sparrow
so cut short:
if I have a user, who has a certain subscription
and if I want to move this user to new subscription
we can schedule this change
in this case, the new subscription will be applicable after their billing cycle ends
robust sand
yep
