Here is what we see in the returned 'price' and 'plan' objects:
subscriptions price {
id: 'price_1RycjRGSFMA1QWpwPSFUUr9H',
object: 'price',
active: true,
billing_scheme: 'tiered',
created: 1755799021,
currency: 'cad',
custom_unit_amount: null,
livemode: true,
lookup_key: 'canadian_monthly',
metadata: {},
nickname: null,
product: 'prod_SuRcykLT6nZCPE',
recurring: {
aggregate_usage: null,
interval: 'month',
interval_count: 1,
meter: null,
trial_period_days: null,
usage_type: 'licensed'
},
tax_behavior: 'exclusive',
tiers_mode: 'volume',
transform_quantity: null,
type: 'recurring',
unit_amount: null,
unit_amount_decimal: null
}
subscriptions plan {
id: 'price_1RycjRGSFMA1QWpwPSFUUr9H',
object: 'plan',
active: true,
aggregate_usage: null,
amount: null,
amount_decimal: null,
billing_scheme: 'tiered',
created: 1755799021,
currency: 'cad',
interval: 'month',
interval_count: 1,
livemode: true,
metadata: {},
meter: null,
nickname: null,
product: 'prod_SuRcykLT6nZCPE',
tiers_mode: 'volume',
transform_usage: null,
trial_period_days: null,
usage_type: 'licensed'
}
In both cases the amount is null
Do we need to:
- get the price id
- get the quantity
- then fetch the price from stripe api using expand
- then use the quantity to find the price tier and do the math ourselves?
Before we used the tiered option we received the amount values back
So we used that for our system
But now that we're on tiered we're not sure how to efficiently retrieve the subscription value for the customer
It seems very inefficient to have to query the price and then calculate the amount based on that

Hi Palamedes, thanks for your help

You only get unit_amount if billing_scheme is per_unit, not if it is tiered:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object#price_object-unit_amount
I think this is what you should be looking at:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/object#price_object-tiers
You can try expanding price.tiers when you retrieve the Subscription and see if you can or not
torn lance
Ok, so it will not give us the amount in subscription.
Instead we have to:
- fetch the subscription
- find the price id + quantity
- fetch the price for that id with expand
- then in the tier for that price id locate the price for the quantity.
or can we pass expand to the subscription list endpoint?
near magnet
data.price can't be expanded on the list endpoint according to my testing
torn lance
ok, very strange - we wanted to make sure we match exactly what stripe is charging for that subscription, eg taking into tiers + discount, etc.
But it seems that we have to manually calculate all of that, which introduces the potential for errors between our calculation and what Stripe charges the end user
if we retrieve a single subscription item instead of listing, does that give it?
near magnet
So Subscription items do contain price info, but it is a list of items that Stripe will charge for on the Subscription, whereas it seems to me you're looking for actual calculations that will be charged or have been charged for a particular period, in which case you should likely be looking at the Invoice instead of the Subscription
torn lance
Tested - single subscription item also does not include amount
I want to show a customer what they will be charged per line item on their next subscription billing
Not past
near magnet
Sure, you can look at the upcoming Invoice
torn lance
ok, thanks
near magnet
or create a preview Invoice:

I'll take a look at that
this page isn't found: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/upcoming
near magnet
It may be because it doesn't exist on your default API version if you're logged in to the Stripe docs site
It should redirect you if that is the case; I've asked to have that fixed

thanks
