@sleek lintel Imagine that you subscribe to my cookie service delivery. It's $30/month for 12 cookies. You also pay $5/month for fast shipping.
You owe me $35/month on your Subscription. And the Subscription has 2 separate Prices (one for each thing above). Each Price on the Subscription is modeled as a SubscriptionItem
So the Subscription is what the customer commits to pay on a recurring basis and the SubscriptionItem is related to the specific Price
sleek lintel
ok, thanks for the clarificaiton, I have a few questions.
- So when they cancel the subscription, all items from the subscription items are also cancelled. Correct?
- Can some items from the subscription be cancelled?
desert ember
yes to the first question. If you cancel a Subscription, it cancels all SubscriptionItems all at once.
You can't "cancel" a SubscriptionItem so no. But what you can do is remove/delete a SubscriptionItem.
So if we keep my earlier example, let's say you don't want to pay for expedited shipping anymore but keep the delivery, what you want is to delete the second SubscriptionItem and keep the first one.
sleek lintel
ok, that helps. When a subscription is created, there will be atleast 1 subscription item?
Can, a customer remove a subscription item from a Subscription on the Customer Portal? Taking the example above, can they just remove "Expedited Shipping" from the Subscription on the Customer Portal?
desert ember
yes a Subscription always has at least one SubscriptionItem as it always has at least one Price
(checking for the second question)
sleek lintel
thank you
desert ember
no as far as I can tell the CustomerPortal does not let you remove a specific Price if your Subscription has multiple Prices
sleek lintel
ok, good to know, was just wondering if I need to implement functionality on my webhooks if this option was allowed
desert ember
it could totally be allowed in the future, we're always improving the API and our products!
sleek lintel
ok, are there any webhook triggers that are triggered when a subscription item is deleted. Or do I have to just use the subscription.updated webhook to identify if a item is deleted
desert ember
customer.subscription.updated is what is triggered. Try it in Test mode!
sleek lintel
ok, will do. thank you.
desert ember
sure thing!
