hi there!

how are you creating the Subscriptions? with Checkout Session, the Subscription endpoint, something else?

#

and do you want to update an existing subscription with an "extra feature", or create a brand new subscription with an extra feature

#

Sorry, not really a very technical question, but more a best practice question from our technical implementation.

So with a checkout session, but also from the admin interface (and we then use webhooks to interface back to our system).

#

This is up for discussion, but I think we only want a single subscription because we bind our customers to a contract, and the subscription is a contract.
multiple subscriptions would get complicated I think.

#

Plus we only support one subscription per customer in our callback from the webhook right now 🙂

#

It's more about the best way to implement "add ons"

#

I'm thinking simply new prices added to a subscription

#

we could hack it with an invoice for a price and apply that to our own system ... but then it's complicated to unwind if we use stripe as the source of truth

#

which we want to

#

thoughts?

#

basically:

I have a subscription to our core vertical, at the top tier, and I've added on extra1 and extra2

I think the best way is to simply have all these as prices in the subscription ...

#

but you are the expert

hoary junco
#

is the "add on" a recurring price, or only one time?

lean pollen
#

so, we work on a subscription that is yearly (independent of the billing cycle - we have to map that)

#

We can "renew", in which case we add a phase

hoary junco
#

can you answer my above question?

lean pollen
#

It is a single purchase FOR the current year of subscription ,however far through the year the customer is

#

it is not a lifetime purchase

hoary junco
lean pollen
#

that adds an invoice item to the subscription and is then part of the subscription?

hoary junco
#

this will add an invoice item only to the next Invoice of the Subscription.

lean pollen
#

so that's a one off payment then
