Hello
You can structure your code to collect and configure cancellation details when your code attempts to cancel the subscription (triggered by customer wanting to cancel the subscription) - https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/cancel#cancel_subscription-cancellation_details
You could also use metadata to store this information
The other option is to use a Subscription Schedule - https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create
You can configure it to cancel the Subscription once the Schedule ends - https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-end_behavior

The issue I am having is that I am getting the subscription status from the API, and currently when a subscription is due to end, it is canceled by the API. So if a customer cancels a subscription or it ends, the status returned is the same
quasi flare
Yeah you can't use status parameter for your usecase as such. You'd want to rely on other parameters such as cancellation_details to figure out what triggered the cancelation
grand laurel
Can I set the cancellation details using the end_behavior?
quasi flare
Not really, you set end_behavior on the Schedule object (not the underlying Subscription, that's different)
grand laurel
Or I suppose set cancellation_details when a customer cancels and if its null then its because the subscription ended?
quasi flare
yup, that's what I suggested above
grand laurel
Ok, thank you for your help
quasi flare
NP! 🙂 Happy to help
