Hi there!

You mean you have one subscription with multiple products?

[keen sparrow]

yes that's right

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

the usage records are created on subscription item basis

https://stripe.com/docs/api/usage_records/create

[keen sparrow]

yes but how do I mention the product id ?

[hollow tartan]

you don't mention the product ID, you mention the subscription item ID which is by itself tied to a price

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_items/object#subscription_item_object-price

[keen sparrow]

ok, this what is not clear for me, I have subscription_item per subscription

isn't it ?

[hollow tartan]

yes so this is the relationship
1 Subscription -> many Subscription Items
1 Subscription Item -> 1 price
1 price -> 1 product

[keen sparrow]

ok, I thought I had only one subscription_item per subscription, but when I create a subscription I'll obtain as many subscription_item as products subscribed

[hollow tartan]

if you're creating the subcription using the API each item you pass to this array
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items would generate a unique Subscription Item that has a unique ID

which you can then use to record the usage

ok perfect thanks
