Hello! Yep, you can use a Subscription Schedule to schedule future changes to a Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

I mean, I have a weekly subscription and I want to charge customer on every sunday at 01:00 pm for example, can I do that?
haughty jacinth
Oh, yeah, you can set the billing cycle date: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle
Sorry, misunderstood. 😅

Can you give me an example for this, looks like I have to provide a timestamp for this on billing_cycle_anchor.
haughty jacinth
Yep, that's correct. You supply a Unix timestamp to set the date and time of the billing_cycle_anchor to your desired value.

But every charge has different timestamp, I mean
haughty jacinth
For example, if I wanted to set it to Feb 15th at 1:00 PM UTC I would set that value to 1708002000.
That sets the billing cycle anchor for the next period, and then the interval determines the next payment.
To extend the example, if I set 1708002000 on a monthly Subscription, that would mean future payments would happen on the 15th of every month at roughly 1:00 PM UTC.
If I set 1708002000 on a yearly Subscription, it would be Feb 15th at 1:00 PM UTC every year.
crisp thorn
And for weekly subscription?
haughty jacinth
It would be 7 days between each payment.
crisp thorn
It would be Feb 22nd at 1:00 PM UTC?
haughty jacinth
Yep.
crisp thorn
Yeah I got it, thanks

You can test all of this in test mode with Test Clocks: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
You can speed up time so you don't have to wait for 7 actual days to pass.

Yeah, its great, i am using it already
