Hello!
quartz barn
How is this different from a regular trial workflow as described here?
cloud viper
I think the differences are that when their trial period ends we want to update their subscription to go back to their previous items
I think this would mean we need to leverage schedules of some sort
quartz barn
Yeah Subscription Schedules would work for that, you would define 3 phases to represent the existing Price, the Trial Price, and whatever Price exists after that.

i see
PAID──────────────────► TRIALING ───────────────────►PAID
subscription_item subscription_item subscription_item
- foo - bar - foo
would this approach change their cycle anchor dates for the respective paid portions? i assume yes

You would have to specify a new billing cycle anchor if you wanted to change it for a particular phase. We talk about that a little bit here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#resetting-anchor

i see! okay great, i think this confirms my general understanding of how to implement something like this. Will have to go test this out 👍

Happy coding!
