hello

my first action

    $r = $stripe->subscriptionItems->update($main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['id'], [
      'quantity' => $main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['quantity'] - 1,
      'proration_behavior' => ($subscription_bundle->ref_customer_stripe != $customer_id ? 'none' : 'create_prorations'),
      'metadata' => $metadata + ['status' => 'quantity updated'],
    ]);

my second action

$subscription = $stripe->subscriptions->create([
'customer' => $main_subscription['customer'],
'cancel_at_period_end' => $subscription_bundle->ref_customer_stripe != $customer_id,
'default_payment_method' => $main_subscription['default_payment_method'],
'items' => [
[
'plan' => $main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['plan']['id'],
'quantity' => 1,
],
],
'metadata' => $metadata + ['status' => 'Create a new annual subscription and pay the invoice with the account credits'],
]);

can you check the info by subscription ids?

[finite mountain]

hello! yep, can you share the Subscription id so that I can take a look?

[lusty ermine]

sure, original subscription (quantity changed: 2 -> 1) https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1QMiHKJaf89hC41INs0yDsvH
new subscription, for the same customer: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1QN7TIJaf89hC41IxCsGLov5

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

@lusty ermine I don't see any request that is changing the quantity from 2 to 1 for this subscription

[lusty ermine]

$r = $stripe->subscriptionItems->update($main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['id'], [
'quantity' => $main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['quantity'] - 1,
'proration_behavior' => ($subscription_bundle->ref_customer_stripe != $customer_id ? 'none' : 'create_prorations'),
'metadata' => $metadata + ['status' => 'quantity updated'],
]);

sorry,

req_DpexC6QWyb8oUF

?

[fallen pond]

sorry I'm investigating this, please hold for a moment

yes this is normal since you're using create_prorations not always_invoice

with create_prorations a pending invoice item will be created and will be pulled to the next subscription's billing cycle

[lusty ermine]

wait i sec, let me explain my case
i'm creating a subscription, with quantity of 2. the price, is 200x2 = 400$
the customer have PAID for this amount
ok
after that, i want to set this subscription quantity to 1, and get 200 credits as proration
ok
after that, i want to create a new subscription, for the same customer, with quantity of 1 and the price = 200

actual behaviour: user is being charged for 200$
expected behaviour: user is not being charged for 200$

how i can do it?

[fallen pond]

change create_prorations to always_invocie

[lusty ermine]

so, instead of
$r = $stripe->subscriptionItems->update($main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['id'], [
'quantity' => $main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['quantity'] - 1,
'proration_behavior' => ($subscription_bundle->ref_customer_stripe != $customer_id ? 'none' : 'create_prorations'),
'metadata' => $metadata + ['status' => 'quantity updated'],
]);

it will be
$r = $stripe->subscriptionItems->update($main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['id'], [
'quantity' => $main_subscription['items']['data'][0]['quantity'] - 1,
'proration_behavior' => ($subscription_bundle->ref_customer_stripe != $customer_id ? 'none' : 'always_invoice'),
'metadata' => $metadata + ['status' => 'quantity updated'],
]);

right?

[fallen pond]

yes

[lusty ermine]

ok, let me recheck.
