hi! happy to help, can you clarify what specific question you have at a technical level?
gusty latch
The question is more of a design level, rather than technical.
dusky yarrow
makes sense, how can I help?

Let's say we have a creator in our app. The creator sets his/her subscription price.
Now, the user can subscribe to this creator (and many other). If a creator changes price, then it must also be applied on active customer subscriptions.
Which Stripe APIs fit into this flow?
dusky yarrow
you'd call https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade for each existing Subscription object to change it from its existing price_xxx to the new one for the new amount

Will their be an underlying product for each creator?

There will be some alternative approach. There is no chance anyone will be doing this using script. A lot can go wrong

a bulk migration product for existing subscription is definitely something we'd like to build but it doesn't exist today, and lots of people do migration this way, you can test and develop the code in test mode and have high confidence. If I had a better answer I'd give it to you.

Stripe developers will have chosen to change the original reference, I mean 🙂

not sure what that means, I'm sorry
