Hi Tarzan
rose citrus
would you mind sharing more details? the subscription ID? the discrepancy you've found etc.?
mild arrow
This is the subscription id: sub_1OWfXDGui8cxlbVrqEtsI8EZ
Invoices generated
Since the subscription started on Jan 9th and billing happened on Jan 31st, i'm under the impression that the Jan 31st bill should have $99*21/31 instead of a flat rate of $99
These are the pricing tiers for the product
So after seeing the invoices generated, I'm assuming that the flat amount that we set here is not as follows:
$99 for 30 days
Instead it is just $99 no matter for many days he was using the product
rose citrus
taking a look on how you created the subscription
give me a couple of minutes to understand what's happening here
rose citrus
sorry it's been a bit busy, I haven't yet
thanks for the ping
and thanks for being patient.
mild arrow
no issues
rose citrus
I'm on it right now
mild arrow
ok
rose citrus
AFAIK prorations don't apply on usage-based pricing
but I'm trying to find you a public resource to confirm this
sorry it's taking forever
mild arrow
ok, no issues, please confirm once you find anything
rose citrus
yes sure
mild arrow
At the same time, can you please tell me how do i create a product where i can create different tiers and set per unit per month price instead of just per unit price along with flat amount rates that is also per month?
rose citrus
do you mean have a prorated flat amount and a tiered pricing per usage?
mild arrow
yeah, i guess that is what i'm looking for 🙂
rose citrus
I think the easiest way would be to have 2 prices
1 flat amount and 1 tiered
the problem is that your flat amount is tied to the usage
so you can't really calculate it ahead of time
hence why it doesn't prorate
mild arrow
got it, but the requirement is to have different tiers of flat amount till we reach a particular units sold,
post that threshold, need to charge $0.1 per unit
if i can get prorated billing for this usage-based pricing, it fits my requirement perfectly
rose citrus
ok if I understand correctly what you're looking for is something like this:
- 0-5k = 99$
- 5k+ = 0.01* usage
right?
mild arrow
yup
but these prices should be per month
let's say user buys a subscription in the middle of the month, and has usage of 2k, need to charge him 50% of the 99$
basically a prorated behaviour
rose citrus
ok so basically what you need to do
is create a subscription with 2 prices
1 non-tiered price: 99$
1 tiered price with
0-5k = 0 * usage
5k+ = 0.01* usage
mild arrow
when u say 2 prices, u mean create two products with 1 non-tiered price and other product with a tiered pricing as:
0-5k = 0 * usage
5k+ = 0.01* usage
the non-tiered pricing product can be used for prorated billing and tiered pricing product will be for the users who stay for the whole month?
rose citrus
I mean two subscription items
rose citrus
the non-tiered pricing product can be used for prorated billing and tiered prici...
correct
mild arrow
but that brings a lot of complexities. I have to manage two subscriptions for a single user all the time
rose citrus
btw thanks to a colleague I found the reference
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/prorations#:~:text=Prorations are created only for licensed (per-seat) subscriptions because they’re billed at the start of each billing period.
mild arrow
let me go through this doc
