Test request ID:

Prod Request ID: req_P9V0veVE8tQVNK

Okay I'm confused. In both requests you update a Subscription and include a one-off invoice item for a negative amount.

#

In both cases, an invoice is generated and immediately paid

#

due to proration_behavior: "none"

#

What part is unexpected for you?

upbeat pier
#

No not true, in prod an invoice is generated here after running that request

in_1QfrMIDyFtOu3ZuTbLVVI4zv

#

I had to manually reset the billing cycle of the subscription such that the user gets billed for the new product - the negative amount here:

in_1QfrUbDyFtOu3ZuTbTVEiTze

#

After running the code in prod, the only thing that happened was generating that negative invoice

waxen drift
#

Ah the amount for the second line item is 0 on the prod invoice.

#

The product description suggests this is a free trial period

#

description: "Trial period for Semaglutide Multi-Month - 15mg (5 mg, 5 mg, 5 mg)",

I see

#

so if it is trialing, how do I get it to perform the behavior I want to? Pass in trial_end: true?

waxen drift
#

trial_end takes either a timestamp or the string "now". I think "now" would get you the behavior you want

#

But I recommend you code a simulation in Test mode and be sure to include the trial period so you match production behavior

upbeat pier
#

Got it

#

So I totally missed this 'case' when I was testing

#

If they're on a trial or not

#

Can you think of any more cases I could have missed?

waxen drift
#

I recommend just ensuring that you use the exact same parameters between test and live mode for susbcription creation when testing the impact of different updates

upbeat pier
#

I see okay.

#

Thank you

Happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂

For this code:

await stripe.subscriptions.update(stripeSubscription.id, {
items: [
{
id: stripeSubscription.items.data[0].id,
price: new_price_id,
},
],
billing_cycle_anchor: 'now',
proration_behavior: 'always_invoice',
payment_behavior: 'pending_if_incomplete',
proration_date: stripeSubscription.current_period_start,
trial_end: 'now',
});

#

for this request id: req_RuKsN7Q0XK2qOo

#

Why did it not charge the user the difference between the 2 products? And how do I get it to?

waxen drift
upbeat pier
#

Yes but the intent was to charge the difference between the current product the user is on and the new product its switching to

#

This just charges the price of the full product.

#

Normally this code works for this (but w/o a sub schedule attached to it I believe)

waxen drift
#

But they hadn't paid previously, because it was a free trial, right?

upbeat pier
#

Ahh I see

#

I put it on a free trial to extend the subscription out a couple days

#

How do I account for that?

waxen drift
#

Sorry but this is your business logic so I cannot really provide more advice. I think you should take a step back and review what it is you are ultimately trying to do.

#

I have to step away but my colleague @cerulean zealot will be able to assist with further questions.

upbeat pier
#

I mean if the subscription is on a free trial, how do I still upcharge it for the difference between the two produfts?

#

thank you for your help!

cerulean zealot
#

You can add a one time invoice item with add_invoice_items that charges the user before the trial starts

upbeat pier
#

In a seperate request before this?

#

or can do in the same sub update request

cerulean zealot
#

You can do it on the create or update invoice calls

upbeat pier
#

Wait im confused

#

So before running the subscription update code, I make a new call to update / create the invoice?

cerulean zealot
#

Basically add_invoice_items is our parameter for adding one time charges that get billed along with your recurring charges. If you add invoice items to a subscription that is trialing, we will charge only the one-off fee upfront
