Yes I think you would want to do that, instead of letting the Subscrition active

[pearl oxide]

Okay, thanks! Another question: are users always charged at the start of a month?

[ornate lichen]

Depends on how you configure your Subscription. If can specify any date when you create it

[pearl oxide]

Can I configure it with the BillingCycleAnchor?

[ornate lichen]

Yes. Try it in Test mode!

[pearl oxide]

Great, thanks!

I have another question, if you don't mind. What happens when a creator increases the price of a subscription? Do the users are automatically charged more? Are they notified? Do they need to confirm this?

[ornate lichen]

How do they increase the price? If they call some Stripe API then it's on them to notify their customers, or you as a platform to notify the customers, depends on how you build your system

[pearl oxide]

I update the subscription item with a new price. So if I don't notify the users, they will "silently" be charged more the next month?

[ornate lichen]

Yes. Do notify them or they will be upset and declare chargeback to their bank.

[pearl oxide]

Okay, I guess I will give them time for a week to cancel the subscription before the prices changes. Stripe doesn't offer this automatically, right?

[ornate lichen]

Do you mean API for cancelling a Subscription? yes

[pearl oxide]

No, sorry. I meant giving a customer time before the price increases. Or can this be done by subscription schedules?

My idea was: notify all customers via email and create a new phase for the next week/month with the increased price?

[ornate lichen]

Ah yes that's possible with Subscription Schedule, yes

[pearl oxide]

Okay, so it is possible to dynamically add phases, right?

[ornate lichen]

Yeah
