spring sinew
ahh... i see this in the docs
"If you want to bill the customer for the prorations before the subscription’s renewal date, you need to manually invoice the customer."

@spring sinew can you share the Subscription id and the Invoice id?
spring sinew
sub Id: sub_1OIFYdGn8rvEcbMWCpYglOZn
invoice: it's not actually created yet, just scheduled to be created at end of billing period

looking sorry lots of people appeared at the same second

@spring sinew are you using metered billing? sorry I'm getting totally lost and the server got busy
If you use metered billing, did you report usage? If not there's nothing to charge
spring sinew
yeah. i think the issue is with how the pricing plans are setup. the idea is to charge an upfront amount at the beginning of the billing period, then charge for any usage at the end
can metered billing make upfront charges?
loud umbra
yeah that doesn't really work with prorations in that case so that won't be a good fit
it can, if you have a fixed fee
I recommend reading https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/usage-based
it explains a lot of the models around this. Or simply have 2 separate Prices, one for the fixed fee and one for the additional usage

yeah i'm looking at my previous projects code and this is how we did it.
ok i think i understand thanks, will inform my team
loud umbra
sure thing, sorry for the delay I kept mixing up your thread and someone else's latest invoice and had to start from scratch 😅
