What do you mean by "manual proration " ?

[trim lion]

I meant creating prorations using internal business logic, like documented here

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations#manually-creating-your-own-prorations

Also I just realised there's an error in the code sample i gave above, amount in invoice_items should be -ve for manual proration to work. Here's the updated code

def upgrade_subscription():
    ...
    resp = stripe.Subscription.modify(
        subscription_id,
        items=[
            ...
        ],
        proration_behavior='none',
        payment_behavior='pending_if_incomplete',
        add_invoice_items=[
            {
                'price_data': {
                    'currency': 'usd',
                    'product': product_id,
                    'unit_amount': -500,
                }
            }
        ],
    )

[mint ermine]

OK. add_invoice_items is one of the supported attribute for pending updates https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates-reference#supported-attributes . Have you tried it?

[trim lion]

Yes, I've tried it. As mentioned in the code posted above

[mint ermine]

What's the subscription ID?

[trim lion]

I've finished the test clock a while ago, let me recreate it

Here's the subscription id sub_1PxNfzHxoLyKoVBRzaTODeLG

Description of invoices:

2nd invoice generated and paid automatically for oct month
3rd invoice generated after upgrading plan to $38 plan (manually computed prorate charge was $19)

[mint ermine]

Isn't the 3rd invoice paid successfully?

[trim lion]

Yes I manually confirmed the payment. My issue is, up until I don't pay the invoice, I do not want subscription to update, right now subscription automatically updates to new plan price

[mint ermine]

No, that invoice was paid automatically. I don't see any request to pay this invoice manually.

[trim lion]

I did pay it manually

[mint ermine]

What's the ID of the invoice that you are looking at?

[trim lion]

Id is in_1PxNlBHxoLyKoVBRasrpCr6L
Also, here's how i created invoice after subscription update

        invoice = stripe.Invoice.create(
            auto_advance=True,
            subscription=subscription_id,
            collection_method='send_invoice',
            customer=customer_id,
            description='Pending upgrade charge',
            days_until_due=1,
        )

[mint ermine]

No, that's not the invoice created by the subscription, it's the invoice created by yourself.

That's not how pending updates work.

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pending-updates I'd recommend you go though this page to get a better understanding of pending updates

[trim lion]

So coming back to my question, how to use pending_if_incomplete payment_behavior with manual proration?

[mint ermine]

Hmm? I though you already did it ? no?
