Hi, to summarize Proration works exactly as what you described. Have you taken a look at the Doc link my colleague shared?
yes, looked at it, the question is currently I am immediately switching between plans. But Now I want to integrate upgrade functionality. I already integrated downgrade functionality.
suppose at half of month I switch to higher plan (Gold in this), if old plan (silver in this) cancels then it should be charged exactly duration of time it has been used, and the remaining days of that month should be charged the amount of new plan.
Can you give me proper steps to follow, because If I update or cancels the old plan, the invoice of new plan is created the full price of that plan, doesn't deduct the proration cost.
Can you give me all steps to follow in code regarding above issue?
It's in the Doc already. Or you can read this for a concise explanation: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update It will do exactly as you said, generate a proration of unsued Silver plan and charge for remaining Gold plan
Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.
can you explain me this:
By default, we prorate subscription changes. For example, if a customer signs up on May 1 for a $100 price, they’ll be billed $100 immediately. If on May 15 they switch to a $200 price, then on June 1 they’ll be billed $250 ($200 for a renewal of her subscription, plus a $50 prorating adjustment for half of the previous month’s $100 difference).
Does not it should be like below I am confused:
on May 1 customer billed $100. on May 15 they switch to $200 price, then on June 1 they should billed $150 ($50 used of 15 days of May + $100 used of 15 days of June)
I don't understand why customer has to pay $100 extra or is there anything else I didn't get it.
@left goblet
So it's the $50 prorating adjustment, comes from $150 ($50 used of 15 days of May + $100 used of 15 days of June) - $100 as customer already paid at the May 1
They have the extra $50 adjustment and it's added to the Jun 1 $200, so it becomes $250
Can you tell me what is the workaround of prorations and how it can be used?
And I want to deduct amount immediately whenever customer upgrades to new plan, How it can be possible?
We are working in a team @left goblet
Pramay meant to say that with above example that if user switches from 15th May to 200$ plan and we want to charge immediately remained 50$ (Prorating adjustment) on 15th May, How to achieve that?
Please note that from 1 June user would be on 200$ plan regularly and 200$ should be charged on 1st June only
I see, so you want to change the proration behavior
To bill a customer immediately for a change to a subscription on the same billing cycle, set proration_behavior to always_invoice. This calculates the proration, then immediately generates an invoice after making the switch.
Ok, We will try this and let you know
