No I know about refund, I'm asking how can I know how much the remaining amount is.
e.g. If $999.99/year cancels after six month -> 499.99
If $999.99/year cancels after seven month -> ?
How can I know what is the remaining amount ?
plush sparrow
that's something that you'll have to compute yourself. something like amount_paid - (number_of_days_the_subscription_was_used / total_number_of_days) * amount_paid
stray coral
But some other from your team told me that I'll get the remaining amount in latest_invoice after I cancel the subscription.
And It seems true, after I cancel the subscription , I see invoice.created and look at this,
Can I share sub_XXX ID ?
plush sparrow
that's correct the amount is computed by Stripe. I think the simplest option to find it is to look a the Customer object, there should be a balance property with the amount.
stray coral
No ,the customer balance is empty.
plush sparrow
can you share the Subscription ID (sub_xxx)?
stray coral
sub_1P1m2YIoZDVxPDhe8mKd93QD
plush sparrow
thanks! give me a few minutes to look into this.
stray coral
Okay sure
plush sparrow
there's no balance yet because the Invoice is still in Draft. as soon as the Invoice will finalize, the balance of the customer will be updated, and you can use that amount for the refund.
stray coral
So, how It will be finalize ? cause I have to refund as soon as customer cancels the subscription
plush sparrow
by default it finalize after one hour. but you can finalize it yourself if you don't want to wait for one hour.
stray coral
Okay, How can I finalize it?
Which API?
const invoice = await stripe.invoices.finalizeInvoice('in_1MtGmCLkdIwHu7ix6PgS6g8S');
This'll work?
plush sparrow
yep
stray coral
Okay so,
1). cancel subscription
2). get latest_invoice ID from response
3). finalize that invoice
4). check customer's balance
5). refund the balance
6). update customer with 0 balance, right? (is this part necessary? Or stripe will reset to 0 automatically?)
plush sparrow
yep that looks correct (including step 6).
stray coral
Okay, thanks man
Hey Hey, wait a minute
For refund I have to pass charge_id , now in this case how or from where I'm gonna get charge_id?
plush sparrow
no you can pass payment_intent, which you can find in the Invoice object.
stray coral
Nope. in response of finalize.invoice Both charge and paymentIntent are null
plush sparrow
that's normal, that invoice has no payments. you need to find the previous invoice.
stray coral
May I ask, how?
plush sparrow
you can list all invoice of a Subscription: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/list
stray coral
Okay
