👋 happy to help

#

unfortunately that's not possible out-of-the-box

agile merlin
#

thanks, please help me solve this query

distant jungle
#

but there's a way to achieve this with a small workaround

agile merlin
#

please tell me about it, I have been stuck here since monday.

distant jungle
#

you can create a normal PaymentIntent

#

create the subscription schedule in the future

#

and then the credit balance would be used to pay the first invoice of that subscription schedule

agile merlin
#

but the issue is I want to pay it now

#

I want the subscription to start once the previous one ends

distant jungle
agile merlin
#

like how we have for mobile data plans

#

okay but we can't do the payment with a card right ?

#

I am sorry but I am having trouble understanding, I will state my problem again.

#

can we do a schedule in stripe where the plan will start at a later date but the payment is done now, similar to a mobile plan recharge where we pay for a plan but it gets activated after the current plan expires

this is what I want, a scheduling which will start the subscription once the current plan ends but it is prepaid when we subscribe

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

can we do a schedule in stripe where the plan will start at a later date but the payment is done now, similar to a mobile plan recharge where we pay for a plan but it gets activated after the current plan expires
Currently the public APIs doesn't support that.
You have two options:
1 - you can create a one-time invoice in order to charge the customer in adavance and add a 100% discount for the schedulers next invoice

agile merlin
#

for example this is a plan which I scheduled for when the current plan ends but one issue is the invoice will be generated on the day it is scheduled for I want it to be paid when I schedule it.

please reply

gritty crane
#

I think I already reply to you

#

Did you read my last message ?

agile merlin
#

yes I did, but I shared this screenshot for better understanding of what I wanted.

gritty crane
#

Thanks for sharing the screen. I think I'm understanding your use case

#

You can't charge the new schedule in advance currently using the public Stripe API, that feature isn't supported actually

#

So I shared with you two options to achieve that.

agile merlin
#

one last question

#

what if I do a normal subscription but make the date for it's activation in the near future

gritty crane
#

You can't create a normal subscription in a future date
