Hello

#

Can you clarify what you mean by "custom plans"?

#

You can create Prices via the Dashboard if that is what you are asking?

#

I mean my SaaS has standard subscriptions. Now I need to create a one-off custom subscription for a user.

#

He is already on a subscription I created in the past, but this will be in addition to that.

#

https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/manage-prices details how you can create Prices/Products via the Dashboard

#

You can also start Subscriptions via the Dashboard

#

The best thing to do really is test this all out in test mode

What is the difference between creating an invoice and adding a new subscription to a customer?

#

A Subscription is recurring versus just creating an Invoice is for a one-time Invoice

Does the customer have to 'accept' it or does it just charge their account if they are an existing customer?

#

I was hoping to have them 'accept' it or enter what payment method they want to use for the new subscription.

#

To have a customer "accept it" you would want to use a Quote: https://stripe.com/docs/quotes

Wow so in theory I could manually just add subscriptions to an account and they would be charged? Obviously I'm not planning on doing that (unless I had signed consent), but in theory that's possible?

If you have already collected a PaymentMethod, then yes.
