Hi there! Sorry for the delay

Actually, the first invoice was created for today, June 6 - June 30

random hatch
#

Oh I see

signal cloud
#

Is that what you'd hoping would happen?

#

Oh, nvm, you said you wanted June 1 - 30

random hatch
#

I guess the period is correct yes

#

When will that first invoice is actually be charged?

signal cloud
random hatch
#

OK. I dont wanit to be charged until June 30 though

signal cloud
#

Since you used charge_automatically and passed a customer and PaymentMethod, the Invoice was charged today

random hatch
#

Ah ok

#

What do I need to change for it to be charged at the end of the invoice period?

Can you share more about your reasoning for this?

random hatch
#

We have a business model where our customers set up subsidies for their employees to be paid at the end of the current interval. Jus tlike payroll.

#

SO they are setting up a monthly set of subsidies to be paid at the end fo th current month, and then at the end of each month thereafter

#

Does that make sense?

signal cloud
#

Not quite sure I follow. So your customers are paying you a flat rate per month for the service you offer?

random hatch
#

We facilitate a business paying their employees a periodic amount into their accouunt with us, which their employess use in turn to purcahse insurance proiducrs thoughr us. We sit between the employer and employees. The employer sets up a monthly amount that they want to pay to their emplopyees. So yes, I suppose they are paying us a flat rate per month.

#

They can make changes during the month though and we want to charge them at the end of the month

#

When the do the initial setup I will create the sub, and then allow them to modify it during the month

signal cloud
#

What kinds of changes are they making during the month?

random hatch
#

In Stripe language, they could be adjusting the quantity of an item on a sub or adding or removing items

signal cloud
#

The reason I ask is because the only pricing model that allows for billing in arrears on Stripe is usage-based billing. An invoice is generated at the end of the billing cycle for all the usage recorded in the period

#

I see. In that case, no, it's not possible to invoice in arrears for these kinds of changes. Any changes made to the Subscription will be for the next billing period's invoice

random hatch
#

OK. Well I guess we can just position it as being for the next period, no worries, thanks. Can I at least delay the first invoice charge until a specified future date?

signal cloud

OK thanks. I will play around with it.
