Hello
I believe you're referring to subscription schedule?
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
plush zinc
I am trying that but I do not want to generate an invoice till next year
neat mason
If you want the subscription to be active without a payment up front then you'd need to use a trial

I created this subscription in my test env with the Dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers/cus_QJl3evuYa5Klhx
I used the Bill yearly starting for one year into the future
neat mason
that's a customer object.. Subscriptions start with sub_xx prefix
plush zinc
the subscription is active now, with no trial, and doesn't bill for a year
sorry, copied wrong URL: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1PT7XvG6SOg4bQjgopGQvXFP
I tried this but it still generated and invoice
Stripe::SubscriptionSchedule.create({
customer: customer,
start_date: 'now',
end_behavior: 'release',
phases: [
{
items: [{price: 'WA-FA-BUNDLE-BACKER', quantity: 5}],
end_date: DateTime.now.next_year.to_time.to_i
}
]
})
if ti set start_date into the future it creates a schedule instead of an active subscription

Just to make sure I understand this correctly, you want to start a subscription for let's say $100 per year today June 18th, 2024 but don't want to start billing it till June 18th, 2025?
In this case are you offering the first year for free?
plush zinc
correct but I want the subscription to be "active" not "trialing"
neat mason
Ah I see what you mean. I think you'd need to disable proration in this case...
Try
Stripe::Subscriptions.create({
billing_cycle_anchor: 1750222800,
customer: "cus_xxx",
items: [{
price:"price_xxx",
quantity:1
}],
proration_behavior: "none"
})
