Hello

[versed wolf]

Could you please create a test simulation using Stripe Test Clock:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
And share with me the subscription Id ?

[blazing lagoon]

sub_1OvcPfIaroXmrIGX8G1zdZbn

in_1OvcPfIaroXmrIGX9BL0jFPp: 3 usd

in_1OvcQ1IaroXmrIGXTWZtWx9V: 24 usd finnally <----------This should be invoiced when the 3 usd billing cycle ends.

[blazing lagoon]

It is an annual plan, but even if I set protation_behavior to be none and billyng_cicle_anchor to be unchanged, it does not work.

[versed wolf]

Thanks for sharing, let me check...

[blazing lagoon]

Alright

[versed wolf]

It is an annual plan, but even if I set protation_behavior to be none and billyng_cicle_anchor to be unchanged, it does not work.
When exactly you set this ? can you share the requestId ?

[blazing lagoon]

req_S1TETKYF6iKxAF

[versed wolf]

I see it, this one req_S1TETKYF6iKxAF

[blazing lagoon]

Yep

[versed wolf]

So you've deleted the price Premium Plus and you replace it with Premium

[blazing lagoon]

Sure, but we only handle 1 subscription per user, that's right, right?

[blazing lagoon]

What I want is to invoice at the end of the cycle, not immediately

[versed wolf]

Try setting the billing_cycle_anchor: unchanged
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor

[blazing lagoon]

Exactly, premium plus has more things to offer than premium, but this premium is annual, you should not issue an invoice until the end of the cycle

[blazing lagoon]

I tried but it doesn't work. I'll try again.

[versed wolf]

Can you share the requestId ?

[blazing lagoon]

req_wUuEPQKFsJVrvd

[blazing lagoon]

I tried this:

{
"proration_behavior": "none",
"billing_cycle_anchor": "unchanged",
"default_payment_method": "pm_1Ov9B0IaroXmrIGXT4dnYChX",
"items": {
"0": {
"quantity": "1",
"id": "si_Pl8uJPAnaBeWFx",
"deleted": "true"
},
"1": {
"quantity": "1",
"price": "price_1OufyYIaroXmrIGXQ6bZGZYj"
}
}
}
But doesn't work

[versed wolf]

Sorry, I'm quiet confused, so you want to create a proration for the unused time of the price Premium plus ?

[blazing lagoon]

I don't want to create prorations, because that remains as credit to the client.

[blazing lagoon]

What I want is that if you have paid for a monthly premium plus plan, and change to annual premium, to wait the month and then bill

However this doesn't work:

"proration_behavior": "none",
"billing_cycle_anchor": "unchanged",

[versed wolf]

What I want is that if you have paid for a monthly premium plus plan, and change to annual premium, to wait the month and then bill
Ok I see. Then you need to use Subscription Scheduler

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

You schedule the update till the end of the current phase (monthly plan)

[blazing lagoon]

But it won't generate an invoice until the end of the cycle period, right?

[versed wolf]

You can find here a couple of helpfull use cases:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases

[versed wolf]

yes

[blazing lagoon]

So if I change from a monthly to an annual plan, I create a schedule, right?

[blazing lagoon]

How can I use the retrieve upcoming invoice in subscription schedule?

[versed wolf]

and if you want to achieve your use case (wait untill the end of the current billing cycle to create an invoice)

[versed wolf]

Same as you are doing on a Subscription

for each schedule, you have a related Subscription

https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/object#subscription_schedule_object-subscription

[blazing lagoon]

But to show my next invoice, do I have to create the schedule first?

[versed wolf]

Yes.

[blazing lagoon]

Is there a way to create it but without applying the effect? Since I need to show the user their billing information

[versed wolf]

You can always update the future phases of the schedule and remove the next phase

[blazing lagoon]

But I have a question, but if you create a subscription schedule, what will happen to the current ordinary subscription?

So something I don't understand is, do I have to use subscription and then schedule, or just schedule?

[versed wolf]

You can create a scheduler from an existing subscription:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#existing-subscription
Have you had the chance to walk through all the guides I shared with you?

[versed wolf]

You can start a scheduler from the beginging, or create a scheduler from an existing subscription

A scheduler provides just an extra layer of customization to the Subscription

[blazing lagoon]

I think it's what I need for my use case, but I have to read the documentation well and stuff

[blazing lagoon]

Okay, thank you very much, I'll try it and write to you anything.
