Thanks @fossil blaze but that is more complex I think for my scenarion than simply deleting the existing items and replacing.

#

Is there any harm in just deleting all of them and replacing wiht new?

fossil blaze
#

yeah I was trying to avoid going deep because it's super subtle

What do you mean by "delete all of them" exactly?

finite stump

The quantities and/or prioces may change on my items. It will be complex for me to figure out the changes relative to the existing. It would be simpler to just delete all the line items and repalce them with new ones. Just like I created new items when I created the subscription. This is what I am doing in my own database - just delete the existing line items and repalcing with new.

yeah sorry I understand what you mean conceptually. But how do you plan to delete all existing line items? Like what code did you have in mind exactly?

finite stump
#

Call GET /v1/subscriptions/:id which returns all the items and their IDs. Then call POST /v1/subscriptions/:id with items.delete for each ID.

#

Then call POST /v1/subscriptions/:id again to add the new items

gotcha, that's what I wanted to have you say. This is impossible. You'd end up with a Subscription that doesn't have any items which doesn't work.

What you can do instead though is

  1. Retrieve the Subscription https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/retrieve
  2. Update the Subscription and pass items as an array of 2 separate lists: all the old SubscriptionItems to delete and all the new Prices to add.

So imagine you have a Subscription sub_ABC with 3 Subscription Items:

  • si_123 on Price A
  • si_def on Price B
  • si_xyz on Price C

Now you want to switch that Subscription to Price B, D, N. But you don't want to bother tracking if they already have B (which they do) you just want to "replace" the list of Prices to B/D/N.
So what you pass is this:

items: [
  // Delete all existing SubscriptionItems you got when retrieving the Subscription
  {id: 'si_123', deleted: true},
  {id: 'si_def', deleted: true},
  {id: 'si_xyz', deleted: true},
  // Add all the new Prices you want
  {price: 'B', quantity: 1},
  {price: 'D', quantity: 1},
  {price: 'N', quantity: 1},
]
