We are giving our customers to pay amount in installments. EX: for 2000$, customer can pay 500$ every 2 months in 4 intervals
to achive this, we belive Stripe will work and created Subscription with Amount 500, iteration 2 months, and intervals 4
onces all intervals complited, expected to end the subscription (we are doing via our code, to check all installments done, then cancel the subscription)
Now we got an issue with last installment of every subscription: EX: sub_1OspxoFG3Dh3H5V4Y1ehm7G5
the last invoice showing only $8.20 instead of $500
i'm done, please go ahead
@astral blade are you there? Let me know if you need any more information
astral blade
It seems like the Subscription doesn't go through 4 complete cycles. Why are you setting backdate_start_date, billing_cycle_anchor exactly?
I would recommend listening to invoice.paid webhook event and count when 1 Subscription has 4 of those. After that you can mark the Subscription as cancel_at_period_end: true.
granite bridge
sometimes the payment was initiated what we expected. Lets in this case, the user needs to pay on Mar 1st. But the user paid on 9th. So in our case backdate can help on this and upcomming invoices
means raised first on any date, but next invoice should be Mar 1st + 2 months, May 1st
astral blade
Okay. In any case, the approach I described above would prevent any prorations.
granite bridge
it's not about subscription cancel, it's about last invoice raising only few cents
astral blade
I understand that. It's because the Subscription ends before the last month completes, so the customer is only charged for 1 day in the last month.
If you mark it as cancel_at_period_end instead, during the last month, it will charge the customer for the complete month, as expected.
astral blade
Happy to help.
granite bridge
I set .setCancelAtPeriodEnd(true)
but still showing the subscription sub_1Ot7IvFG3Dh3H5V4vGlQb0MA end date Sep 1st
astral blade
This Subscription seems to be managed by a SubscriptionSchedule. So you shouldn't be able to update it directly.
For the workflow I suggested, you don't need to use Subscription Schedules.

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
granite bridge
If subscpritonschedule not work, how we can raise invoice? As my knowledge, subscriptions helps to customers do setup onetime payment and upcomming invoices will be pay without worry about customer to enter details
please correct if i'm wrong. We are looking, customer can enter details one time, and as EMI model
sudden heath
would you mind summarizing the context and what are you trying to achieve?

vanya_stripe suggested add cancel_at_period_end, but it's not working: ID:sub_1Ot7IvFG3Dh3H5V4vGlQb0MA
let me know if you need any more information @sudden heath

iteration 2 months, and intervals 4
it's interval 2 months and iteration 4
granite bridge
my bad.. yes
sudden heath
onces all intervals complited, expected to end the subscription (we are doing via our code, to check all installments done, then cancel the subscription)
you don't need to, you can set the https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior to cancel
granite bridge
Okay.. but what about only portion of amount generated for last invoice?
sub_1Ot7IvFG3Dh3H5V4vGlQb0MA
sudden heath
I'm not sure what do you mean
granite bridge
Please check subscption: sub_1Ot7IvFG3Dh3H5V4vGlQb0MA
it's showing, last invoice amount 8$ instead of $500
sudden heath
can you try to create a new subscription schedule
