hi there!

#

Hey

abstract spire Apr 26, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

I recommend reading this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

#

Thanks for your time.
Actually, I've tried doing this:

  "sub_xxxxxxxxx",
  items=[{"id": "{{SUB_ITEM_ID}}", "price": "{{NEW_PRICE_ID}}"}],
)```
But, it starts the new subscription from the start_date of the previous subscription, which isn't what I want. Could you help me out with this please?

#

Also, I need to charge the user in future, when this new chosen subscription starts.

abstract spire Apr 26, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

oh I see. if you want the subscription to change in the future, then you need to use Subscription Schedule yes.

#

have you tried using Subscription Schedules?

quiet spear Apr 26, 2024, 10:02 AM

#

I don't think I have, let me do that in a jiffy, and could I get back to you then?

#

I guess, scheduling the subscription creates the invoice for today itself, customer will be charged now, which is again something I don't want. Am I wrong?

abstract spire Apr 26, 2024, 10:05 AM

#

no, with Subscription Schedule you can change the Subscription in the future. so you could say "change the plan of the user in 3 weeks, so the invoice will be created in threee weeks"

#

Could you please refer me to a doc?

#

Also, how do you suggest to test this?

abstract spire Apr 26, 2024, 10:06 AM

#

you already shared the correct docs: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

#

and you can use Subscription Schedules in test mode to see if it works. I recommend also using Test Clocks to move time forward: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Thanks a lot, I'm going through this.

#
