#

Hi! Do you have an example of a subscription I can look at?

earnest rock
#

wait

#

let me create a new one

#

sub_1Rke3qS7EHeaHKilHEvq0Kxa

#

let's say this one

#

actually it is just an active subscription and trialing subscription

#

so in some condition i need to update the price. can i just directly change the price using subscription update? what will happened if i do it. the the new price will only charge in the new period

#

It depends on what you wish to achieve. So you start a subscription with a trial. Then you need to change the price to a paid price. Do you want the change to take place immediately or at a later time?

earnest rock
#

so first i am creating a new subscription with a trial right?
either during the trial period or when the susbcription is already active (without trial), in some condition i want to change the price.
and the price will be charge at the next payment.

so if the price change when the subscription is in TRIALING, when the tiral ends, charge at the new price
if the price change in the middle of active subscription, charge the new price at the next period

#

that is what i am trying to achieve

left hearth
#

Ok so any changes should take place only at the next billing cycle correct?

earnest rock
#

yes correct

#

do not want to affect the active period

left hearth
#

Give me a moment to look into this.

earnest rock
#

okay sure

left hearth
earnest rock
#

why i cannot directly update the subscription?

left hearth
#

Because the change will take place immediately.

earnest rock
#

what do u mean will take place?

#

it will be charge again at that time?

#

is it different with this update subscription feature in the dashboard?

It may or may not charge at that time depending on the proration options you choose.

It may or may not charge at that time depending on the proration options you choose.

when the option is choose? when creating the subcription? or when i can find out the option?

#

so if the proration option is none means it will be safe if i update it directly?

#

but to be more safe we can just use a schedule?

when the option is choose? when creating the subcription? or when i can find out the option?

The proration option is chosen when you update the Subscription. You can use the dashboard for that as well. So when you click on Update subscription you have the option to change the duration of the current price and add a new phase for the new price to start which is what you would do when you are creating a subscription schedule.

You can read more about the proration options that we have: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations
If you make the change via the dashboard, it also has proration options.
