It could have interval = year and interval_count >1, ie 2 years or 3 years

I'd like to give you some context. I'm migrating a subscription from one system to a subscription. However, the old system has 2 and 3 years expiration, and the user already paid for it. I will create a subscription, but then I need to specify the expiration date to the future; that's 2 years from now. And after it passes, it will auto-renewal with the yearly price.

And you can schedule it to be back to an annual price later on

Sure, use Subscription Schedule API

when i set up price it's only have yearly option

and is internal in subscription meaning how many it allow to renew before it stop the auto renew

And how do I set up the subscription to bill the client in the next subscription cycle not the current one since they already paid?

You should set the Subscription Schedule which

1. Starting with interval = year and interval_count = 2 or 3 (to simulate your 2 years or 3 years setting)
2. Schedule to end after that, and update to a new Price with (interval=year, interval_count=1)

Here is how to use Subscription Schedule https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules. Play with it in Test mode!

thanks for point #1 is it set in price or subscription?

[full urchin]

Either way works

[pearl locust]

on dashboard it not letting you so can only update via api?

and should i create a new price item for the migration and when it expires. Create a new subscription with the yearly expiration? or reuse the existing subscription just update the priceid?

[full urchin]

Yes I were referring to API, and no it will be the same Subscription with updated Price Id

Subscription Schedule, is to help you "schedule" changes to a Subscription

Got it let me experiment with what you suggest and get back to you on the result. Thank you
