👋 happy to help
shrewd portal
Thanks Tarzan
shrewd portal
Thanks will check
So question is that if I setup a Plan A with price $10 and then in 3 motnhs I want to increase the price to $15
I can just edit the same plan
or do I have to create a Plan A.1?
solar crane
when you say the same plan what do you mean by that?
Plans in Stripe are equivalent to Prices
a shared object that represents an amount that needs to be paid
whereas Subscriptions are the different recurring prices a Customer has subscribed to
in your case do you want to change the price for all the Customer subscribed to it or for a specific subscription?
shrewd portal
Ok let me explain - so we have Subscription called "Standard" which is costing $10 and in January we increase the price of this subscription to $15 - does it mean I cannot just edit the price of this subscription - I will have to create a new Subscription on Stripe?
Thanks again
My developers are sating I cannot edit the pricing
saying*
solar crane
I'm not sure we're understanding each other
shrewd portal
this is from my backend
solar crane
in Stripe we don't have a "generic" Subscription that can be replicated for each Customer
We have prices:
e.g. $10 monthly or $30yearly etc.
We have Subscriptions:
e.g. Customer A subscribed to the $10 monthly
when you say you want in January to increase the price do you mean for all your Subscriptions?
shrewd portal
So you see from above example there are 3 levels of subscriptions
and each level may have various prices - e.g. monthly / 6 Monthly or yearly
solar crane
So you see from above example there are 3 levels of subscriptions
those are called products
so we are on the same page with the wording
the pricing yearly vs monthly is represented by prices
So you have 3 products Starter, Pro, Unlimited
with 3 prices each
shrewd portal
yes correct
solar crane
ok perfect
if you're thinking about changing the pricing you need to create new prices
and plan on updating all the active subscriptions with the new prices to take affect
solar crane
no need to create new products
just add new prices
e.g. for the Starter product
you had 1 monthly price $45, now you add a new monthly price for $50
then you need to get all the Subscriptions that are using the old price and update the price when you want it to take effect, or you can create a Subscription Schedule
to account for the future change
solar crane
no worries, let me know if you need any more help

you can also ask your developers to join the discord server

Is there any impact on existing subscriptions? If create new prices then we need to associate that price with existing subscription.
ok

any existing subscription will stay on the old price unless you either update the subscription or create a Subscription Schedule

@willow relic Join here please
Amit are you able to message here?
@solar crane how do I add the developer on this thread?
willow relic
hello
willow relic
hi @solar crane is there any way by which while we create new prices then we can update into our all old supscriptions linked to our old price
lament plover
not automatically no
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade you would call the API for each of your existing subscriptions and change them to use the new Price
willow relic
okay got it .
if there is any change in billing period between old and new price (Suppose for old price billing interval is 1 month and in new price billing interval is 6 months) then is there any impact on old subscription?
lament plover
if you change the subscription to the new price then it will force an immediate payment, that's the main thing

@willow relic did it answer your query?
