LIke is there a straightforward way to modify a subscription from yearly to monthly, so the change occurs at the end of their cycle?

Hi there

#

We have some general guidance here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade

Though note that updates to Subscriptions (other than cancel_at_period_end) happen immediately

If you want to "schedule" a change for a specific date or start of a cycle, you likely want to use Subscription Schedules: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#upgrading-subscriptions

So modifying a subscription from a yearly to monthly will occur straight away? As in, they'll be charged straight away and then continue to be charged monthly?

#

By default yes. And we also by default prorate the difference. And we offer alternatives such as the SubscriptionSchedules approach that my colleague shared

#

When you say prorate, do you mean refund the prorated difference or does it turn into some sort of creidt

#

the latter. See https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/prorations
I recommend carefully going through those docs multiple times to grasp this as it's quite fundamental overall
And then just trying it in Test mode so that it clicks

Okay thanks

gentle kettle Sep 18, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

sure thing!

Sorry could i ask another thing? I want to enable payment methods like ideal, but that requires using EUR. I spoke to stripe support probably six months ago and they said they were working on a way to automatically accept EUR and other currencies without having to make individual prices for every currency. Any update?

Hmmm it depends a bit how you integrate overall. If you use Subscriptions you can do multi-currency Prices https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/manual-currency-prices
