Hi !

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

you can do that in schedules

#

but you can also use update subscriptions but you have to use 2 params:
1- billing_cycle_anchor: "unchanged"
2- proration_behavior: "none"

#

doing like this will leave the subscription seats to 5 for february ?

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

yes

#

actually

#

no it doesn't it would change to 3 but there won't be an invoice generated

static vector Feb 5, 2024, 11:07 AM

#

ok

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:07 AM

#

and if you're using the invoice.paid webhook event to provide your services

#

then it becomes easy

#

since you're looking at the billing_reason

#

if the billing_reason is subscription_update

#

you change the subscription

#

if it's billing_cycle you keep it as is

static vector Feb 5, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

So schedule is the way to go if I want to know the current number of seats and the futur number of seats ?

#

I need to know what the customer has paid for the current month

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

static vector I need to know what the customer has paid for the current month

you would know that via the invoices

#

and in all cases you will get a customer.subscription.update event which has the previous_attribute that lets you know what changed exactly

#

you can use test_clocks https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks in order to simulate this and try to see whether a simple subscription or a schedule is more appropriate in your case

Thanks for the information, I'm going to dig a bit more the invoice path

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:12 AM

#

sure

#

let me know if you need any more help

static vector Feb 5, 2024, 11:12 AM

#

Sure

#

thanks a lot

#

one last question

#

If I add a seat to my subscription during february, the invoice will have two lines.

Is there a way to safely find the quantity of seats for my subscription ?

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:16 AM

#

the seats won't add line_items

#

it's the same line item with different quantity

#

In case of proration

#

we have two lines, case of going from 5 to 6

It will remove 5 seats and add 6 seats

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:27 AM

#

correct

#

but that's in the invoice not the subscription

#

in the subscription you only have one item

#

and that item has 1 price

#

and 1 quantity

static vector Feb 5, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

yes

trail sorrel Feb 5, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

which is the one you're looking for

static vector Feb 5, 2024, 11:29 AM

#

I have to do some tests, I'm pretty new with Stripe, but I think I understand your strategy

#

And I think it will solve my case

#

thanks
