Hi! Is this to update prices for ~everyone, or to be able to set someone up to switch prices upon renewal?
dense sable
For everyone. Essentially, we are raising the price on a product that our customer subscribe to on a yearly basis. We want their subscriptions prices to increase at the end of their current term
faint dove
Gotcha. This should be pretty straightforward; let me just remember how to do it. 😂
dense sable
haha thanks
faint dove
Annual plan, ya? Paid ... ... annually? So if you changed the price of everyone today, when that actually impacted folks would vary based on when they signed up, ya?
dense sable
correct. Some people may at the begining of their cycle, some at the end.
some in the middle

You should just be able to update the Subscription objects to the new price with proration_behaviour: none and that should work.
That switches them now, but doesn't generate any proration items for 'time used' and 'unused time'.
dense sable
I think that's not quite what I want. I want everyone to pay the old price this cycle, but when they renew, pay the new price
faint dove
Are you talking about existing customers, or future customers? Or both?
dense sable
existing customers
new customers I want to pay the new
Maybe I could update with no proration and give a discount?
faint dove
For new customers,
dense sable
for current customer
faint dove
Sorry, my cats found a bee. 😅
You can update the current customers' price to the new one, with proration_behavour: none, and they will be on the new price for when they renew.
dense sable
it won't affect their current invoice?
faint dove
What do you mean when you say 'current invoice'?
If an invoice has been created and finalized, it would not be affected by this change. Future invoices will, but that's the behaviour you want, right?
dense sable
yes! Okay, I think that question was stemming from a misunderstanding on my part
faint dove
So a change today will only affect invoices going forward, never issued invoices - so it should do exactly what you want here.
That said I would highly recommend you try this in test mode while you build out your migration code.
dense sable
thank you! I think the proration flag will do the trick
I have to update that on the subscription?
faint dove
No, you include it in the 'update subscription' API call: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior
...as part of the API call that changes the price.
