👋 happy to help

I want to implement a subscription upgrade&downgrade feature. Wish:
the subscription period before and after the upgrade and downgrade remain the same
the cost is the price of the full cycle, not a percentage of the date.
use the portal page provided by stripe, no need to customize.
Example:
bought a $20/month subscription on 6.1 and upgraded to a $100/month subscription on 6.15, then immediately pay the difference of $80 instead of $40 by date, while the subscription period stays the same from 6.1-7.1.

no need to repost your question
slate scaffold
ok, how I can implement this feature.
potent marten
we can't really do that by simply applying prorations
slate scaffold
potent marten
yes that's not even possible with the Customer Portal
slate scaffold
The screenshot above, that's what I'm looking for.
potent marten
but that's not the same as your calculation
in the screenshot the customer paid a prorated value
what you want is for them to pay the difference which is not something that we offer
slate scaffold
It's the same, when upgrading the plan, I want it to be effective immediately, and I want the full difference, not the time-apportioned difference.
potent marten
no it's not the same because you want them to pay the difference which is not possible
slate scaffold
Look at the screenshot, Pro2 is $50, Pro3 is $100, when I upgrade, I only have to pay the difference of $50, that's what I want.
potent marten
what's the subscription ID here?
slate scaffold
Pro2 I bought it on the 28th of last month, when i upgrade the amount needs to pay is full-difference, not time-apportioned difference.
potent marten
because you upgraded on the same day
right?
so there's no proration to calculate
slate scaffold
no, it's not same day. When I opened this upgrade page two days ago, it was the same amount.
full-difference
potent marten
ok I just checked and the portal would upgrade starting next month
you made the changes on June 26
and it will applied starting June 28
so it's not an immediate upgrade
it's an upgrade starting the next billing cycle
eager daggerBOT
potent marten
the payment is immediate
but applying the subscription update would only occur at the start of next billing cycle
slate scaffold
ii upgrade from $25 to $50 on June 26, paid $25 full-difference amount, and take effect immediately
potent marten
I'm not sure how they're providing access to their service but know that the subscription upgrade would only take effect at the end of the current billing cycle

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away soon.
Regarding proration calculations, the only methods we offer are to either calculate prorations based on when the upgrade is made in comparison to where in the current billing period the Subscription is, or to not calculate any prorations.
If you want the behavior that you're describing, where the "prorated" amount is just new_price-old_price, then you will need to implement custom code to handle that. You will need to fully disable our proration logic, and implement your own, generating the one-off Invoice needed to charge the customer for the amount you want to charge them for.
slate scaffold
If so, means that I can't use the portal page provided by stripe? have to implement the subscription management page myself?
