Hello! Not exactly. There's no way to set a specific Subscription Item to end on a certain date, but you can accomplish the same thing using a Subscription Schedule which modifies the Subscription to remove that item on a particular date: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

#

if we create a phases in schedule then will it charge multiple times based on phases ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

Yes, you can set up as many phases as you need to.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

will it charge that many times?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

It depends on how you configure it and if you do prorations or not.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

I have one test case let me write it down here.

#

User "A" has current membership which will expires on November 12, 2023.

Now he is doing early (advance payment) and purchase the new add-on with it. At the time of early renewal he is turning on the auto recurring.

So now he will have two items

main membership whose expiration after payment will be November 12,2024.
New add-on whose expiration after payment will be Aug 31, 2024.

Now i have turn on the recurring from next billing in 2024.

In this case, how proration works ? because add-on will have more than 365 days to reach date in Nov 12,2024.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

Not sure I understand, I think there are additional details I need. For example, what is the payment frequency? Monthly? Is it different for the two things they're paying for?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Payment frequency is yearly.

#

yes there are two items under one package. so they will be paying total amount

#

here is the screenshot from my website

#

#

Here user can pay early for GOld Membership and also can purchase the new item like Full Summer Rentals. We he purchase the new item it will have expiration of yearly date based on today.
So Gold memberhsip will have next expiration on 08/18/2025 and full summer will have 08/31/2024
How can i start subscription on this ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

It sounds like you should be creating two different Subscriptions then.

#

One for each yearly charge, as it sounds like they'll be happening at different times.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

any other idea than multiple subscription , Because I don't want user to create multiple subscription for one package.
We have total more than 20 add-ons along with main membership.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

To clarify, is your intention to have a customer only pay once every year, or if they have multiple items as outlined above would they pay more than once a year?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

My intension to pay once a year.

#

I have implemented the proration but it works fine when main memship's expiration is greater than add-ons

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

Okay, so a single Subscription would probably work then.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

How ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

What do you mean? What specific issue are you hitting?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

How so a single Subscription would probably work then. ?

#

Please help that will be great because i am looking for one subscription only.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

You would update the Subscription with the new item(s) and disable proration.

#

That way the person would only be charged once yearly.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

ok importan question , I think in one subscription we must have all items with same renewal date right ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

Yes.

#

That's why I was asking how often they pay you.

#

You said once per year, so that would all be on the same date.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:22 PM

#

When user pays $300 for main mbership then next date will Nov 12, 2024 and $50 for add-on which has date Aug 31,2024.

NOw i want to match Aug 31,2024 to Nov 12, 2024.

So User have to pay more than $50.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

Wait, I think we're talking past each other.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

How can i achive that ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

I asked earlier, " is your intention to have a customer only pay once every year" and you said yes, it was, but now it sounds like you're saying they would pay more than once per year (August and November). Can you clarify?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

user will pay once per year.

#

I have implemented the proration .

#

it works fine and charge less (difference) amount when there is less duration than main subscription.

Can we charge more in proration ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

So will they pay in August or November?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

November

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

So why did you mention August?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

But in november they have to pay $50 full amount and extra diff amount for sep-oct-nov.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

Okay, let's back up. What have you tried, and why didn't it work?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

sand crow So why did you mention August?

I don't know which API should work on ?

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

Have a look at this guide: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

I want to start one subscription for two different dates subscription items.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

You can't do that. A Subscription's items have to have the same dates/periods. But look at the guide I linked above and let me know if you have questions.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

To keep same date, I want that stripe should automatically add extra amount in total.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:32 PM

#

Please read the guide I linked to and let me know if that will work for your use case or not.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:34 PM

#

that's not relevant document.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

Why?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

because i want to start subscription for future date.

#

So i need help on scheduled subscription.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

I thought you wanted a single Subscription?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

Yes Single Subscription.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:37 PM

#

Are you talking about a customer with an existing Subscriptoin and starting a new, additional Subscription for them with different payment dates?

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

I want solution for my existing customer. They have future expiration date. But they are renewing early to Opt for Recurring.

#

So recurring should start from future date.

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

Okay, so create a Subscription in test mode, then update it and add a new item and see if it does what you want.

#

You can advance time in test mode with Test Clocks: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

#

That way you can simulate changes over the span of a year to see how things behave.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

ok

sand crow Aug 31, 2023, 6:43 PM

#

Once you try something specific it will either work the way you want or it won't. If it doesn't you can show us what you tried and explain exactly what's not working and then we can help further.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:44 PM

#

ok

dense oceanBOT Aug 31, 2023, 6:47 PM

#

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:57 PM

#

I want to create subscription which will be start from date "05/29/2024".

sand jewel Aug 31, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

You can take a look at this example for Subscription Schedules then:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#start-subscription-future

Subscription schedules use cases

Learn how to use subscription schedules.

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

yes,

sand jewel Aug 31, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

This let's you set up a future start date whenever you want for a subscription

rotund basin Aug 31, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

yes

#

now along with this subscription I want to add one more item "XYZ" which be add amount for this current month to 05/29/2024 and then after that 05/29/2024 total amount will be auto recurring.

sand jewel Aug 31, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

You want a single "setup fee" type item added to that first invoice?

#

If that's the case, you can provide up to 20 "one time" items in add_invoice_items within the phase:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-phases-add_invoice_items
