👋 happy to help

#

it's not possible to create a subscription that is paid in full when billing_cycle_anchor is used

candid aspen Jun 25, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

Alright. Any tips on how I could achieve this then?

hardy barn Jun 25, 2024, 9:49 AM

#

I suggest using billing_cycle_anchor with proration none and adding an add_invoice_item to the subscription, in Checkout Sessions this means you add a one-time price and a subscription that starts in the future

#

Alright let me try 🙂

#

Can this still be done in checkout session btw?

hardy barn Jun 25, 2024, 9:52 AM

#

yes

#

you create a Checkout Session in subscription mode

#

you pass 2 items to https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items

#

one price for the subscription and one for a one-time payment

candid aspen Jun 25, 2024, 9:53 AM

#

Alright thanks

hardy barn Jun 25, 2024, 9:53 AM

#

you set the billing cycle anchor to Jan 1st

#

and you specify proration_behavior none

swift streamBOT Jun 25, 2024, 9:55 AM

#

candid aspen Jun 25, 2024, 9:59 AM

#

You cannot set proration_behavior to none in a Checkout Session with one-time prices.

#

That's the error I'm getting

hardy barn Jun 25, 2024, 10:03 AM

#

then you can use trial_period

#

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

candid aspen Jun 25, 2024, 10:03 AM

#

Alright

candid aspen Jun 25, 2024, 10:18 AM

#

So trial_period does the trick, but it's just unfortunate that the checkout page looks so wonky with both the subscription showing up with "free period" and one-time showing up. But if that's the only way, I guess that's how it is 😛
