Hi Sam!

Hi! Looking into your query!

stone folio
#

Can you tell me is there a way to pay the next invoice beforehand?

teal urchin
#

Can I have the subscription ID you are doing this for?

stone folio
#

As far as I searched we cannot do that for an ongoing subscription, i.e. to pay the next billing invoice beforehand.

#

Are you attempting a payment for the next billing cycle or are there prorated items?

#

Sure you can share the object ID here.

#

I just want to pay the next invoice beforehand or you can say an advance payment.

#

My use case is; If a user reaches a particular limit we will ask them to pay for another month/ year at that time. As an advance payment.

We can manually create an invoice for this and atsach it to customer, but I am not very sure about tax calculations on it. Hence looking out if we can poy the next billing cycle invoice right now, so that my use case is fulfiled.

#

Also then i will either increment the billing cycle by an year or month if needed.

If next invoice can be paid in advance this will be handled.

#

What kind of subscription do you have? Is it just a fixed amount monthly subscription?

#

A subscription ID would be useful.

stone folio
#

This is an annual user

teal urchin
#

Thanks! You cannot invoice the customer in advance because they have already paid for the first cycle of the subscription. Since they are still within the first cycle there is nothing to charge them for.

stone folio
#

I know that, that is why I am working on a way to do so. Hence asking can we do this?

Like generate a future invoice on the same sub and pay that in advance?

#

Or will have to go with my current approach of manually creating an invoice and ask users to pay it?

teal urchin
#

The only way is to create a standalone invoice not related to the subscription. But do keep in mind that a customer may cancel the subscription during the cycle, not renew for the next cycle you are charging them for, upgrade / downgrade the current subscription, etc. You will need to be able to handle this as the subscription will not.

stone folio
#

Yes that I will handle.

#

Just wanted to make sure if this is the optimal approach for the use-case.
