Hi there, how can I help?

Hello
I would like to understand if the subscription works on a dialy basis, how to set billing_cycle_anchor/billing_cycle_anchor_config values
carmine compass
You should set the price recurring's interval to day, that's the paramter that control the billing interval.
leaden dagger
Get that how about billing_cycle_anchor ?
carmine compass
You don't need to use this param for daily billing.
leaden dagger
what about for weekly and bi-weekly
carmine compass
Use the same param, check the API reference for more details https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create#create_price-recurring-interval
For bi-weekly, you can set interval to week and interval_count to 2
carmine compass
Can you tell me what make you think you need to use these params to configure the interval or recurring billings?

recurring billings

billing_cycle_anchor or billing_cycle_anchor_config is only used to set when you would like the cycle to be billed, e.g. every Monday
If you only want to bill at weekly or bi-weekly, creating price with the interval and interval_count should be sufficient
leaden dagger
so both serve the same purpose ?
but billing_cycle_anchor_config is to specify a specific day
how to control the end of interval bill ?
through price or subscription
?
carmine compass
No, they are for different purpose. I'd highly recommend you to read the API reference for a better understanding.
leaden dagger
Sure will do that
how to control the end of interval bill ?
through price or subscription
?
carmine compass
I'm not sure what you mean by "control the end of interval bill ", can you elaborate?
leaden dagger
end of recurring bill
suppose if i want 12 recurriing bills on month interval
after end of 12 months subscription should end
carmine compass
OK, so you want to schedule an end for the subscription?
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases you can achieve it with subscription schedule
