What do you plan to update on the subscription?

[jovial sinew]

i have one product and it has three plans

i already done buy-subscription feature where i generate checkout session token so on frontend side user can pay subscription amount but i not able to find code for update plan using checkout session token

i wants a code where i give current subscription_id of user and plan_id of update plan

[sage locust]

After the Checkout Session is created, the Checkout Session can't be updated

[jovial sinew]

no i dont wants to udate checkout session

update ?

[sage locust]

What do you want to update specifically? Can you illustrate in an example?

[jovial sinew]

i have django apis backend which i used to run subscription feature in that -

1. we have plans and there stripe_plan_ids
2. i have users
3. user can buy plan subcription also change plans

now i wants a update-subscription api where i give plan_id and user_id
i wants to create a update plan sucription session so on frontend side user can do payment for updating payment ?

how should i do ?

[sage locust]

I see! Checkout Session is only for subscription sign up and doesn't support updating a subscription.

If you want to change the plan on a subscription, I'd recommend checking the guide here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

Alternatively, Customer Portal can be used for your customer to update their subscription: https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management

[jovial sinew]

ok than whats now how can user pay for updating plan ?

[timber junco]

Hi @jovial sinew I'm taking over this thread

If your customer changes plan through billing portal, they can choose the existing payment method, or add a new payment method for the subscription.

[jovial sinew]

i want somthing like that

1. i give users current subscription_id and also the plan_id which i needs to update into it

2. user pay amount for that new upgrate plan

3. and on stripe customar old subscription needs to we cancel and new plan subscription will activate ?

[timber junco]

Why do you want to cancel the old subscription?

[jovial sinew]

i mean i wants switch user-subscription to new plan ?

when user update to new plan

[timber junco]

You don't need to cancel the subscription, you can just change the plan on a existing subscription. have you checked this doc? https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

[jovial sinew]

yes what in that way user cant pay - i wants to create session token for update plan so user can pay ? after payment we update plan ?

[timber junco]

In fact no user interaction is needed (unless 3DS authentication is request) when you change a subscription.
