Good question, for payment installments like that we typically recommend a Subscription or Subscription Schedule that automatically cancels after say 3 months.

Checking in to how to do 39 days, then two 30 day periods

Yes please check this, because this usecase is very important for us

@prime compass Could you please advise solution for this

Hey, apologies for the wait. So I think you will want to use a subscription schedule for this as a normal subscription can't automate different period lengths like this.
Basically, the schedule has phases with a list of items the customer is subscribed to.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/object#subscription_schedule_object-phases-items-price
So you would make a price where interval="day" and interval_count=39 and then a second price with the 30 day interval
https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/create#create_price-recurring-interval_count
Then set up a subscription schedule with 2 phases, the first with the 39 day price and set the phase to go for one iteration
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/update#update_subscription_schedule-phases-iterations
Then the second phase would be the 30 day price for two iterations

But in our case 39 day cost of booking will be different and 30 days cost will be different

You can do whatever combo of prices over whatever lengths of time you want here

The main idea is that you create a new Price object for each amount + length of time combo that you need and then create a schedule that changes between them
