Hi, you need to pass a unix timestamp: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_9F89VwbXkyUNvE instead of '7'. What date are you looking to set this date to?

#

7 th day of every week

#

pay shall kickin every 7th day of week as part of subscription

echo moss Jun 25, 2024, 6:06 AM

Hi @astral perch I think you should use this param https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-billing_cycle_anchor_config-day_of_month

No according to the documentation - Mutually exclusive with billing_cycle_anchor and only valid with monthly and yearly price intervals. When provided, the billing_cycle_anchor is set to the next occurence of the day_of_month at the hour, minute, and second UTC.

#

billing_cycle_anchor_config-day_of_month - this seems to be only for monthly and yearly

#

which i have taken care using the same but I'm looking for DAILY/WEEKLY/BIWEEKLY subscriptions with a specific billing day

echo moss Jun 25, 2024, 6:14 AM

#

I'm afraid thre's no param for day_of_week, you need to calculate the epoch timestamp for the next 7th day of the week, and set it to billing_cycle_anchor.

#

calculation of timestamp for next 7th day of the week => how would this translate after 1 cycle

#

i want this tobe a recurrent payment on 7th day of week

echo moss Jun 25, 2024, 6:25 AM

#

You can use https://www.epochconverter.com/

#

i got that but the question is on creation of subscription if we set the timestamp for next 7 th day, would that be carry forwarded to next payments as part of the subscription ?

echo moss Jun 25, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

You mean will the subscription automatically renew 1 week after the billing_cycle_anchor ? Yes

#

You should use test clocks to test it out

astral perch Jun 25, 2024, 6:43 AM

#

if my scubescription is for 10 weeks

#

then every 7th day the payment shall take place

#

is that the right understanding

#

?

echo moss Jun 25, 2024, 6:44 AM

#

It sounds right to me.

astral perch Jun 25, 2024, 6:46 AM

#

all i was not clear was if i'm setting the timestamp for 1st recurrence in the subscription how would that translate to further payments

#

if the api guarantees for every 7th day payment on first recurrane ts setting at billing_cycle_anchor then thats great.
