hi there!
half tinsel
the minimum amount Stripe can charge is $0.50
since you are below the minimum here, we charge the customer $0 for now, but once the total reach above $0.50 he will have to pay

yes that's normal, the first Invoice was for $0.14, which is below $0.50, so we didn't charge the user for the $0.14.
so the second invoice will include the $0.14 of the previous invoice
"applied balance" is basically how much money the customer ows you

i dont understand why first invoice was for $0.14

It's because you set the billing_cycle_anchor when you created the subscription here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_Ifc96k8mNleddQ
That means the initial period will be for ~1 day from 2024-05-31 10:20:59 to 2024-06-01 10:20:59 so we prorate the items to reflect that

Also, this is for the upcoming invoice (the next period). The initial invoice generated on subscription was for £0.14: in_1PMSZzJKyfLg4PX0mVvvIx0i
Which is below our min. charge amount, so it's applied as a debit to the customer balance and we charge it on the next invoice the subscription (as seen in the screenshot) – £1.14

is it same for sub_1PMTGMJKyfLg4PX0JFfSGZis?

Is what the same?

The invoice (in_1PMTGMJKyfLg4PX0nSnFEDMH) is for £1.14. £1.00 for the items, and the £0.14 in pulls from the customer balance that they 'owe' for a previous invoice
velvet hinge
yes... can you check this sub_1PMTGMJKyfLg4PX0JFfSGZis...we have created without billing_cycle_anchor
cursive bramble
I just explained why it's £1.14, billing_cycle_anchor is irrelevant in this case
velvet hinge
that is for next invoice right... but initial invoice charged for 0.14
cursive bramble
The customer has a £0.14 balance which means we'll bill them for that on the next invoice created for them
If you want to prevent that you need to decrement their balance: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/customer/balance#modifying

The credit balance automatically applies toward the next invoice finalized to a customer.
velvet hinge
okay... when amount is less than 0.14 we will add in the next invoice correct?
cursive bramble
Anything less than the min. charge amount we don't bill for and it's added to the customer balance and then applied to the next invoice: https://docs.stripe.com/currencies#minimum-and-maximum-charge-amounts
For GBP that's £0.30
velvet hinge
okay
Suppose I create a subscription for 10-days with a weekly billing interval. What will happen to the extra 3 days?
velvet hinge
What do you mean by 'for 10 days'? With a `cancel_at` set?
yes
cursive bramble
Did you test it?
That's literally the easiest way to confirm how the API behaves in specific scenarios. What I suspect will happen:
- Full invoice for £1.00 for the initial 7-day period
- Prorated invoice for the next 3-day period before cancelling
velvet hinge
Yes, we did. The issue is that we created $0.50 donations to two charities, so it charged $1, which is fine. However, for the next invoice, it is showing $0.07 for each charity, resulting in a total of $0.14.

yes
can we stop applying proration ?
cursive bramble
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations#disable-prorations
You can try passing that on create
velvet hinge
okay
And one more issue: we have billing_cycle_anchor, which supports monthly and yearly intervals. How can we achieve the same thing for a weekly interval?
cursive bramble
I don't understand the question
What are you trying to do with the billing_cycle_anchor specifically? It's just a timestamp and is interval agnostic
