you can't move a Subscription sub_xxx from one Customer cus_xxx to another(I think is what you're asking?)

yes thank you so i need to cancel the old one and just create a new one?

that's one option. Not great since you have to re-collect the card details from the user. Maybe instead just in your own database remap things
so that now the user X is associated with the Stripe customer cus_123 and user Y is not associated with cus_123 any more
no great or non-messy solution here really

i see i see, if i would do that i would basically change the subscription so it ends at e.g. the end of the month and than make it expire and the new owner has to update it?
severe badge
not sure I understand
you can't change the ownership, it's just not possible
in Stripe you have a Customer cus_123 with a PaymentMethod pm_123 and a Subscription sub_123
you can't copy the PaymentMethod to a different Customer cus_456
sacred ravine
i dont want to copy the payment method but i get what you want to say
thank you for your help!

you can create a Subscription on a new Customer cus_456 and try to line up the billing cycles but it can be tricky
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/import-subscriptions#import-subscriptions we touch on the approaches here(the context of that doc is different, but the part about recreating a Subscription on a new Customer is applicable)
