Hello! Looking, give me a few minutes...

[rapid pewter]

sure

And this is test payment and done through test clock

[silent flicker]

The latest Invoice has a prorated amount because you updated the Subscription to cancel before the period ended, so the amount is slightly less than for a full period: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_Bqnddbmjzl3Imt

but I have fix 3 months subscription how can I setup this on subscription creation phase becuase I use stripe prebuild checkout page

and why first time it take 2.61 euro from customer even subscription is not started

[silent flicker]

You updated the Subscription to cancel before the last period ended, so we only charged for the amount while the Subscription was active, not the full last period. It sounds like you want to use cancel_at_period_end instead of cancel_at: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-cancel_at_period_end

That way the Subscription will cancel at the end of the current period and bill for the full period instead of only part of it.

[rapid pewter]

ok

and what about the first money that cut from customer account 2.61 euro

[silent flicker]

It's because you set billing_cycle_anchor when you created the Checkout Session. The amount charged initially is for the time between when the Subscription starts and when the billing cycle anchor is set, which in this case was only a small portion of time, so only a small amount was charged.

ok so how can I setup stripe future subscription through prebuild checkout session.

Because I have use case where I have to book for future booking and I want to take customer payment details and setup subscription schedule for that particular date. How can I do this with batter approach

[silent flicker]

How much time is there between when you take payment info and when you actually start charging?

[rapid pewter]

there is no time limit It could be 1 month or 1 year. Because we offer future booking

[silent flicker]

Okay, so you should do this to save the payment info without taking an immediate payment: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse

Then, later, you can create a Subscription using the saved Payment Method.
