What does this section mean in the doc above
It means if you subscribe a customer to a $10 a month item with a quantity of 0, then changing that quantity to 1 won't generate an invoice or reset the billing period

#

```If a customer downgrades a subscription plan from price-A to price-B will it always generate an invoice and an invoice.payment_succeeded event with billing_reason of subscription_update?

Not necessarily. Depends on the proration behavior you set

#

See: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade#proration

#

Recommend trying out different scenarios in test mode to get a good feel for how this all works

#

thanks, where would i need to set the proration_behaviour, on the subscription?

unique scarab Jan 13, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

It's set on a per-request basis: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior. There's not a global setting for the subscription

#

I have these proration settings for subscription for customer portal, and it feels like they are a 1 to 1 map for the proration behaviour. I am assuming its related since both exist on the subscription.

#

yep that applies only to updates made in the portal

#

but that controls the proration_behavior param

flat flame Jan 13, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

so in my case since the proration behaviour is immediately invoice, can I expect it to always generate an invoice when a user downgrades their subscription plan to a lower tier but a plan with an amount greater than 0?

unique scarab Jan 13, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

yeah

flat flame Jan 13, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

nice.

#

Just 1 more clarification

#

If the downgrade plan amount is low, such that it only covers the stripe processing fee (or maybe doesn't even cover that), will an invoice still be generated?

Hm not sure offhand. Recommend giving it a go in test mode to see
