Can you elaborate? Which part is confusing?

$restart_date = '1704096000'; // Jan 1, 2024

// Create a subscription schedule with the existing subscription
$schedule = $stripe->subscriptionSchedules->create([
    'from_subscription' => 'sub_ERf72J8Sc7qx7D',
]);

// Update the schedule with the new phase
$stripe->subscriptionSchedules->update(
    $schedule->id,
    [
        'phases' => [
            [
                'start_date' => 'now',
                'end_date' => $restart_date,
            ],
            [
                'billing_cycle_anchor' => 'phase_start',
                'end_behavior' => 'release'
            ],
        ],
    ]
);

Ugh, formatting

#

Specifically, what should be in the first phase? Just a start and end date? For instance I want to start charging a paused subscription on January first.

elfin gulch
#

phase[0] would be what you want to charge immediately upon update in this case. phase[1] would be the next phase for the future state of the subscription

short sail
#

phase[0], charge nothing and continue to be paused, phase[1] charge the normal subscription rate

#

Hello?

elfin gulch
#

The server is busy, so we're a bit slower to respond than usual. To answer your question: yes.

short sail
#

The documentation isn't specific about this scenario so I'm asking: from the code block above, what else do I need to specify in each phase in order to take a paused subscription and transition the billing anchor to January 1st?

#

The only two things I need to change about each existing paused subscription is setting 'pause_collection' => '', and the billing date.

elfin gulch
#

Okay, so you paused the Subscription and you want to use Subscription Schedules to unpause it in the future. Am I understanding that correctly?

short sail
#

That's correct.

elfin gulch
#

I would think the above code would work. Is the behavior different from what you intend when you run it?

short sail
#

I haven't run it yet. The documentation wasn't clear for this scenario. I suppose I'd need to specify the pause_collection behavior in phase[1] as well.

elfin gulch
#

Gotcha, yeah you would want to have pause_collection: "" in phase[1] in this case

short sail
#

Thank you very much for the info and your time.

elfin gulch

Sure thing!
