Hello
shut blade
hi bismarck

Yep, the best way to do this is to use a Subscription Schedule as you noted. The other way would be to track this internally and add an invoice item at the one-year renewal to be picked up by that next Invoice.
shut blade
ok, the subscription schedule is a free feature?
shut bison
Yes there is no added cost that I'm aware of for using a Subscription Schedule. Just the normal Billing fees apply
shut blade
ok cool, since we need to pinpoint the exact moment for scheduling the update, could you tell me how can we determine the current month of the subscription?
what subscription property should i look?
we are planning to get the invoice paid event, and at that moment to the math
shut bison
Are you talking about if you do this yourself by adding an invoice item?
shut blade
well, we will have to schedule the update for each year
i mean, let say a customer purchase a subsctiption today... we create the subscription with the 2 items... 1 is montlhy, the other one is a one time item
but after a year, we need to add the item again, and so on
shut bison
No the Subscription Schedule does this for you
shut blade
for the entire life of the subscription, on each month that start the year of the subscription we want to add the one time item
shut bison
So what you do is you create the Subscription and add the initial Invoice Item for the first year.
Then you attach a Schedule
Each phase of the Schedule is 12 iterations of the monthly Price
And it has the one-time item as well
I believe we limit you to 10 phases
So you can schedule out for 10 years
shut bison
👍
shut blade
now stripe have the clocks to advance in time
shut blade

shut bison

shut blade
