Hi 👋
In that scenario I think pausing the subscription right away and then up-pausing when they become active is your best option

Ok, makes sense. Sometimes, the subscription is activated for a different customer. For example, customer B purchases the membership and 10 weeks later customer B activates it. What is the best way to handle this transfer?
Oops, customer A purchases the membership and 10 weeks later customer B activates it.

I think you would need to keep track of this yourself.
Subscriptions in Stripe are unique to the Customer and cannot be transfered

Ok, understood. In this case, we would be canceling the pausing subscription for customer A and then creating a new subscription for customer B.

Except then Customer B would need to be the one with the Payment Method that funds the Subscription. I think you would need to build a way to track this in your own system
tulip socket
Do you mean the payment method from subscription A has to transfered to subscription b? Is that a requirement?
thorny obsidian
No
But you said customer B purchases a Subscription that customer A activates
Or other way around
tulip socket
Sorry for the confusion. Customer A purchases the subscription but customer B activates it.
thorny obsidian
So it is still Customer A's Subscription right?
tulip socket
No, the ownership, and future paymebts, would be transfered to customer b.
thorny obsidian
Okay so all of that would need to be tracked in your system and the Subscription would need to be created for Customer B using thier payment methods

Sure thing, happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂
