@scarlet quartz the CustomerPortal doesn't "start" a Subscription so I don't really grasp what you are describing. But you mostly can't control any of this via the CustomerPortal

Sorry. the billing portal. I create a billing portal session to make a subscription, and I want to be able to set the anchor and prorate behavior of that subscription so when the user signs up it's set.

#

I'm sorry but you say "to make a Subscription" which doesn't make sense yet to me. Are you trying to create a Subscription? Or update an existing one?

    line_items = [{'price': price_ids[0], 'quantity': 1}] + [{'price': key} for key in price_ids[1:]]

    session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
        success_url='https://chatbuddies.org/success',
        cancel_url='https://chatbuddies.org/cancel',
        customer=stripe_user_id,
        line_items=line_items,
        mode='subscription',
    )

    return session.url```
#

Using this to create a subscription for the given customer.

Gotcha, you are mixing up your words/vocabulary which is why I was confused (totally fine, lots of words and products we offer)
You are using Stripe Checkout to create a new Subscription on our hosted payment page. This is unrelated to the CustomerPortal.

And what you are asking is something that we do not support today sadly so that's just not possible

Okay thank you!

#

Just to clarify--
i would need to use stripe.subscriptions.create and then specify the information there instead to achieve what I want?

I really like the stripe checkout because it gathers the user's payment method for the subscription and makes sure that the initial charge goes through, as well as providing a convenient UI for viewing the products that will be added to the subscription.

Would you recommend that I perform this without trying to use any of stripe's UI elements, based on what I've told you so far?

wheat nebula

You can't really do this withouth any of our UI elements. You have to collect their payment method details at some point. But you can't use Checkout for this if you absolutely need the billing_cycle_anchor_config (though it is uncommon to need this).
If you can't do without that, you would use PaymentElement to collect payment method details. I'd recommend following https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions

OKay thank you. Have a good one!
