Hello
You set the recurring interval for a Price on creation. However, if you want to limit the amount of periods it renews then you use a Subscription Schedule to do that
A Subscription Schedule applies to each individual Subscription. You can't have a Product/Price that only renews for a certain amount of periods on its own -- that's not something you configure at the Product/Price level.

Hi there,
Thank you for your answer. I did see for the individual subscription.
Okay. that is precisely what I was attempting to do... have a product/ price that on its own. I will add a picture to explain a bit futher.

Are you trying to do this via the Dashboard?
tired pumice
This is what my end goal is! Obviously an end date button is not there.... but is there another way to do what I'm getting at?
willow pecan
That is the modal for creating or updating a Price
Not for creating a Subscription
When you create a Subscription you will see Duration which you can use to set an end date

I have a platform that I use for an online product. My product is 2000.00
Stripe is integrated with it in which I link my product payment to.
When a customer is looking to purchase they then see the product payment on the checkout page.
But most customers don't have the full amount, so I am attempting to offer a 2 or 3 payment method. 3 re-curring payments.

Yes I did see this, It only works if I have a customer attached to it though!?
willow pecan
Yes you have to have a Customer to create a Subscription
Overall, it sounds like you are trying to create installment plans here.
This really needs custom code to work effectively.
It isn't something you should be handling from the Dashboard

Yes, Installement plans! hahah thank you.
Oh chucks!!! darn
Okay, I was contemplating and thought that having a simple (end date) in the photo I drew on would solve this big dilemma without coding.
Do you think stripe developers would work on something like this?
I really don't know coding well. And to learn something like this is a bit complicated in my mind.
Unless there is a very dumbed down explanation / tutorial on how to code for installement plans available?
I haven't come across a tutorial video like this yet.
tired pumice
An added button like this would be a game changer!!!
Do you think Stripe developers would ever create one?
willow pecan
I'm happy to file feedback on this but I can't guarantee anything like this would be built
tired pumice
Okay. Yes that be awesome.
I've spent hours on youtube trying to find an easy solution for installment plans with stripe... but nothing except without coding. looking into the comments... it looks like hundreds of people have the same problem hahaha
In the meantime, are you aware of any simplified tutorials available to create a payment installation plan with stripe?
I prefer to stick with stripe if possible.
willow pecan
No unfortunately creating custom installments is just not straightforward. You can see we talk about it as a use-case here for Subscription Schedules: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#installment-plans
But yeah you do need to write custom code to handle that
