Hi tarzan

#

Hope my question is clear.

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

no not relly

#

would you mind giving me a concrete example?

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

for past month i need to create subscription which is recurring
like Jun 1- Jun 30 ,

On July 15th I need to finalise the invoice, as I can update the usage between 1-10 of July using meters.

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

today that's not possible

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

for current month, it should be charged on Aug 15.

but invoice is not considering the back date I gave

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

since we don't have the candences API yet

#

this will be available in the next few months

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

How can I achieve that now? any alternate solution?

#

i am using manual crons to make it auto advance false once invoice is created, and finalizing it on 15th.
but here in backdated case I am seeing wrong dates for the subscription irrespective of my requirement

#

also as soon as the invoice is created, with 0 its getting auto paid too

#

it should be dealyed till 15th, its not waiting till webhook process it explicitly like min. of 1 minute too

#

@restive laurel hope you got what I am trying to build

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:30 AM

#

I'm not sure there is

#

today the billing_cycle is the same as the payment cycle

#

which means that you can't separate the 1-30 and 15-14

#

if you're not really in a hurry I suggest waiting for the cadence API to come in the next weeks/months

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:33 AM

#

for last month usage , I need to charge current month 15, for current month usage , next month 15th it should charge etc.

#

you say thats not possible now?

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand

#

do you mean you want to charge on a different date (on the 15th of the next month) based on the usage from the billing_cycle that is between 1-30?

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:35 AM

#

right

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:35 AM

#

actually you can do that, but this means that you need to manage your customer's subscription on your end, while creating the Stripe subscription with a billing_cycle_config on the 15th of the month

#

meaning that the subscription on Stripe's side would be betweeen the 15th and the 14th of next month

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

but the invoice is also listing those dates which is giving inconsistency b/w my requirement and stripe data, we will expose stripe invoicepdf to customer once they pay the amount

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:38 AM

#

yes

#

and the only way to do what you're looking for is by using a new concept that we will introduce in the next weeks/months

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:38 AM

#

fyi first invoice- which should be jun 1- jun 30

#

upcoming invoice
which should be Jul 1- 30

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:39 AM

#

@wispy bison you set the billing_cycle_anchor config to be on the 15th

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:40 AM

#

is there any tentative time by which new api will be available

#

but i gave start date, 1st Jun

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:45 AM

#

but i gave start date, 1st Jun
that only affects the first billing_cycle

#

is there any tentative time by which new api will be available
I don't have that information

wispy bison Jul 4, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

can you suggest whatbest i can do, billing cycle_anchor not accepting past timestamps

restive laurel Jul 4, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

you can reach out https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true and tell them that you're interested in billing cadences
