Hi, let me help you with this.
You can set an arbitrary billing_cycle_anchor when creating a Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor
keen surge
i am setting while creation of subscription but when i am ending trial early then my billing cycle isdisturbing
fervent crater
What behavior do you expect in this case?
keen surge
i want trial end date to next month first day bill
i want to bill every month first that i want
fervent crater
So why do you end trial before actual trial end?
keen surge
actully my product is api uses based product
i allowded 25000 free hit to user
but what if user crosses this limit
before trial end
i have all usages record in my db
you can also sugest waht i can do
fervent crater
You can just bill them separately for the excess amount, create a one off Invoice.
fervent crater
thats not case i want to make the users plan active
What do you mean by this?
keen surge
actully see if user exceed this limit we will make that plan out of trial and make it active
that what i want
so user can use from their active plan
fervent crater
Ok, but how will you bill them until the 1st of next month?
keen surge
see this bill i am taking 199 upfront and according to number of usages
so when trial end customer will pay prorated price and in next invoice he will pay last month usages + next month fixed price
fervent crater
Sorry I don't understand. You want them to pay the prorated amount immediately when trial ends, or starting from 1st of next month?
keen surge
immedietly
hope so this will make you clear
my subscription consist two things flat rate and metered usages
issue is with trial case only
fervent crater
For the rest of the trial month, do you want to prorate the fixed amount? Or just start to record the usage to be billed on the 1st of next month?
keen surge
example suppose user subscribed 1 feb so 14 days trial is added but on 10 feb user exceed limit. so on 10 feb user will charged for proarted amount 10- next month first and at next month first last month usages + fixed price for upcoming month
fervent crater
proarted amount of what exactly?
fervent crater
I think the best workaround here would be to give the customer a 50% discount for the first month. And then start recording the usage after they exceed the threshold. Other ways might be too complicated.
keen surge
in trial threshold is not working
fervent crater
What do you mean? How is it supposed to work? I suggested you build this yourself based on your usage records in the database.
keen surge
best way is to make trial end now and then subscription will get activated
but billing anchor is the only issue
fervent crater
You can then re-set it on the 1st of the month.
keen surge
how?
fervent crater
keen surge
to reset that billing date
fervent crater
You can only set it to "now"
So you will need to trigger this update on the 1st of the month.
keen surge
can we set schudle to this from stripe end
fervent crater
There's an advanced feature called Subscription Schedules, you can read more about it here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
keen surge
can we do something with this case using schudle
