Sorry, I don't understand your question. What is it you're trying to do?

bronze tundra
#

I want to generate an invoice for the current month on the last day of the month

plucky gyro
#

Will allow you to configure the anchor to the last day of the month

bronze tundra
#

I have tried with 'BillingCycleAnchor', 'BillingCycleAnchorConfig' properties to change the the date. it changes the date but bills for next month. i want it to work like this (e.g. creates a subscription on 2024/10/09. generate an invoice on 2024/10/31 for the period of 2024/10/09 to 2024/10/31)

plucky gyro
#

That's not possible really. The period will respect the interval configured on the item(s) (i.e. monthly)

bronze tundra
#

is there any way to workaround

#

is there any way to achieve this

#

or if we can change the invoice template to not show the billing period

plucky gyro
#

Can you share an example request where you used the billing_cycle_anchor_config param?

bronze tundra
#

// Calculate the timestamp for the last day of the current month at 23:59:59
DateTime lastDayOfMonth = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month,
DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month), 23, 59, 59);
long billingCycleAnchor = ((DateTimeOffset)lastDayOfMonth).ToUnixTimeSeconds();

        var options = new SubscriptionCreateOptions
        {
            Customer = CustomerId,
            DefaultPaymentMethod = PaymentMethodId,
            //TrialPeriodDays = _stripeSettings.Value.TrialPeriodDays,
            Coupon = string.IsNullOrEmpty(tStripeCouponId) ? "" : StripeCouponId,
            ProrationBehavior = "none",
            Items = subscriptionItems,
            BillingCycleAnchor = lastDayOfMonth
            //BillingCycleAnchorConfig = new SubscriptionBillingCycleAnchorConfigOptions
            //{
            //    DayOfMonth = 31,
            //},
        };
plucky gyro
#

Your code above doesn't even pass the param (it's commented out)

bronze tundra
#

I have tried with BillingCycleAnchorConfig param too. still the billing cycle did not change

#

only bill date changes

plucky gyro
#

Can you please share some API requests so I can see the actual parameters passed and the response

#

No idea what 'bill date' is – please reference actual API fields

bronze tundra
#

Bill date means invoice generation date

plucky gyro
#

Ok, well until you share some object or request IDs I can't really help beyond that

bronze tundra
#

let me share

#

DateTime lastDayOfMonth = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month,
DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month), 23, 59, 59);
long billingCycleAnchor = ((DateTimeOffset)lastDayOfMonth).ToUnixTimeSeconds();

        var options = new SubscriptionCreateOptions
        {
            Customer = CustomerId,
            DefaultPaymentMethod = PaymentMethodId,
            ProrationBehavior = "none",
            Items = subscriptionItems,
            BillingCycleAnchorConfig = new SubscriptionBillingCycleAnchorConfigOptions
            {
                DayOfMonth = 31,
            },
        };

        var service = new SubscriptionService();
        Subscription subscription = service.Create(options);

You're just sharing the same code – I want to see the actual API request that your code creates

Subscription Request Obj

#

FWIW, the subscription creation will always generate an initial invoice immediately. That is unavoidable. We bill at the beginning of the period unless metered/usage billing

response

#

For reference, all we need is the ID (sub_xxx). We can see all this detail in our internal systems

We have a quantity-based product in subscription. Which will be increased/decreased in a month. So we want to charge per quantity once it is increased. no matter we want to charge once in a month if added new quantity even if it is deleted mid month.

#

that is why we want to charge in the month end for the total added quantity. and will decrease the quantity once the invoice is paid through scheduler

plucky gyro
#

Yep, understand that. But it's not possible

#

Maybe you can model that to your business

bronze tundra
#

What will Usage-based model exactly do

plucky gyro
#

Read the doc I linked, should outline it. But it's the only way to invoice at the end of a period which is what you want

bronze tundra
#

let me check. please stay a while

#

thank you for the support

#

Can you please add me as a friend so that i can contact you

plucky gyro
#

Anything you need to ask you can ask here 🙂

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

bronze tundra
#

Can you explain with my model how can i integrate this model. We have a quantity-based product in subscription. Which will be increased/decreased in a month. So we want to charge per quantity once it is increased. no matter we want to charge once in a month if added new quantity even if it is deleted mid month.

#

hello

muted sable
#

then yes a Metered subscription can work. Just make sure to send a record usage every time some "uses" a quantity. and at the end of the month, if the customer used 3 things, then pay 3 x amount.

bronze tundra
#

how can i do it with existing subscription with c# .net

#

I could not find proper way in documentations
