Hello
astral imp
hey
formal rapids
As long as you aren't changing the interval of the Price (meaning monthly, yearly, etc.) for the Subscription then nothing will be changed for the billing anchor.
Mostly you just want to update to the new Price and pass proration_behavior :none
So that there is no proration involved.
And my recommendation is to test this out thoroughly in test mode before you run the script
So set up a Subscription in test mode for each of the different Sub types you have
And run it through your script
You can use test clocks (https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks) to ensure they behave as you expect over time

ok great thanks
though because people have paid a range of prices (from £2 to £2000) on a single product, I'm not sure we can just update the product?
astral imp
so i'm assuming i have to set up multiple new 'fixed' products, and then move customers from the previous metered product to the new product. which is where the intervals change
you're saying i can update the price on a metered product?
formal rapids
Prices correspond to Products
When you upgrade a Subscription you just change the Price
It is automatically associated to whatever Product it was created under
astral imp
OK cool. So i'm just adding in new fixed prices to the existing product
and as you say, no pro-rating
formal rapids
Yep that should work just fine
astral imp
brilliant, thank you
is there any guidance on a script then to move people paying a certain amount onto the new price?
formal rapids
Not really -- you mostly just have to write that yourself. The only guidance is that you basically create a mapping so that when you list and loop through Subscriptions and examine their Subscription Item(s) you then correctly update that Subscription to the correct Price that maps to the one they have currently.

Sure thing
