Not sure I understand

#

If you need to start a sub in the future you can use a subscription schedule: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Hi

main copper Jan 4, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

Can you clarify - are you trying to pre-charge a customer for a Subscription that will be started in the future?

So the $5 monthly subcsription starts Feb 1
But you want to charge them for the first invoice early?

#

Or is it somethign else?

dapper fossil Jan 4, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

Yes, exactly

#

So I want to create $50 weekly subscription on 1st feb till 25 feb, but i want to charge first week's $50 now, so they will not be charged on first week,

#

Also weekly period completes on 22 feb and end date is 25 feb, how can i charge them for extra 3 days

#

if the start date is tomorrow or the day after, it should not charge upfront

#

So for the "prebilling" part you're going to want to talk to support (https://support.stripe.com/contact) - we have an upcoming feature that would handle this for you, and they'll be able to get you in touch with the right folks if you want to start using it early

About other parts

#

How can i configure it in scheduled subscription

main copper Jan 4, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

You can see example of how to use Subscription schedules here - https://site-admin.stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#start-subscription-future (this specific example shows how to create one that starts in the future)

#

And if you want it to end on a specific date (like feb 25) you'd set the end_behavior: cancel and make sure the last phase of the Schedule ends on the 25th

#

I'd recommend trying it out in testmode so you can get a feel for how it works

#

For prebilling part, I can charge first week upfront using payment Intent and then start scheduled subscription with 100% off first week

main copper Jan 4, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

Yes, that's also an option if you don't want to wait for the upcoming feature
