Interestingly I do not see the backdate_start_date parameter on that specific call https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_GtnsG3qgeUUXXN

Hi Pompey, I hope you're well.

#

Is this right?

cerulean sage Aug 19, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

That looks fine to run in test mode to me

hexed hare Aug 19, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

That's the same I ran for req_GtnsG3qgeUUXXN

#

Can you run it again anyway to double check? I believe you but I have had so many other users here say that just as confidently only for it to turn out they didn't run that exact code after we've looked in to it for an hour or two.

#

We're not receiving backdate_start_date in the request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_fLYq6Ow5p7aglC

#

Also note that backdate_start_date has to be in unix time

glacial trellis Aug 19, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

@hexed hare are you still testing?

hexed hare Aug 19, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

Yes. I think the backdate_start_date wasn't being sent because of Laravel Cashier, since it also has a trial on the subscription. Trying now to use Stripe API library directly to update the subscription after creatio with the backdate_start_date

#

Looks like can't update with backdate_start_date as that's not an accepted parameter.

#

I think I need to do this without Laravel Cashier

glacial trellis Aug 19, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

Ah I see

glacial trellis Aug 19, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

@hexed hare are you still testing?

hexed hare Aug 19, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

yeah,, just working on adding an invoice item for the customers amount due before the import, since backdate and free trial don't seem to be compatible.

#

can close the thread if you want, thanks for your help!

This might help: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/backdating?dashboard-or-api=api#backdating-no-charge

You can backdate and use proration_behavior: 'none'
