I would only want to allow customers to change 'basic monthly' to 'premium monthly', and 'basic yearly' to 'premium yearly'

And possibly also basic monthly to premium yearly

[frozen flame]

Sure, you can define the matrix of product/prices that are available to update to when you create the portal session

https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations/create#create_portal_configuration-features-subscription_update-products

[dark compass]

Yes I found these docs (and also the config on the webportal)

However this only allows you to specify which products support changing plans

So currently it is possible to switch from basic monthly to basic yearly, and maybe even to premium basic or premium yearly

That is when I add all of the plans in the configuration

However that also allows customers to change from premium yearly back to basic monthly

And I don't want that

So for customers with the basic plan, it should show different options to change to compared to users with the premium plan

[frozen flame]

Yeah it won't adapt to the plan(s) the customer is currently subscribed to. You'd need to create the configure the reflect their current subscription

[dark compass]

What if they have multiple active subscriptions, for example they have basic monthly and basic premium?

[frozen flame]

So you'd need to lookup their active plan prior to creating the portal session, and create/use a configure that reflects the upgrade options they should have

[dark compass]

Because in that case you'd be able to change between all plans right?

You cannot provide a configuration per plan

Only fetch the plan beforehand, and provide all possible plans to change to

[frozen flame]

Then you can use a deep link to upgrade a specific subscription: https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management/portal-deep-links#create-a-flow
