@crisp light we don't support this unfortunately. We don't have a notion of "pre-billing" for a future period right now.

#

We do have a beta feature for this but it's not public. You might want to contact our support team and ask for beta access to our "pre-billing beta for Subscriptions" https://support.stripe.com/contact
No guarantee you can get in though. In the meantime what you are after isn't doable unfortunately

so if i cant get access to the beta what are my other options? can i create a invoice and once paid i create a future subscription to automaticlly start a subscription on my specified date?

The first step would be to more clearly outline one clear example of someone paying, what they would pay, what period this would be for, etc.

A customer signs up for our software and selects the number of users for the monthly subscription. During the signup process, they also choose their preferred billing day. For example, if the customer selects 1 user and a billing day of the 15th, and today is the 4th, we would:

  1. We charge the customer a prorated amount for the period from the 4th to the 15th.
  2. Then we would charge the full amount for the upcoming month (covering the 15th of this month to the 15th of the next month).
  3. Afterward, the billing would continue on the 15th of each month.
    This allows customers to control their billing schedule while ensuring they're charged appropriately for the time leading up to their first full month.
    So on the invoice for the customer to pay it would show a prorated charge for the user subscription and then another line item for the first full month charge

I hope im making sense

give me a few minutes

#

Gotcha, so yeah that is unfortunately not something we support today both with Subscription or SubscriptionSchedules.
One hacky way to work around it would be to have a Price for 2 months so you can prorate the first 2 months and then switch to a monthly Price. Would that work for you?

That could work. But is it possible to have it automatically switch to the monthly pricing after the user pays? im assuming this might be a webhook i would have to use?
