oh, it's only possible from the dashboard?
thorn veldt
correct. In the API you basically have to build this logic yourself. It's not too hard but definitely a bit annoying 😦

I'm confused, so what does exactly the Prorate flag do?
thorn veldt
have you tried?
It will basically add the credit to the Customer's "credit balance": https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance to be used on future Invoices.
So you have to write code to basically refund that amount back to your Customer based on their recent Charge(s) and then zero out the balance
fallen lantern
ok cool. That works, I can fetch the credit total and balance it out from last charge
thanks
thorn veldt
note that the balance can be higher than the last charge so you need some "recursion" to go to the previous one until you're at 0

thank you
thorn veldt
let me know if you have more questions after trying to implement this in Test mode!
