hello! Gimme a while to read through what you're looking to do
viscid temple
Hi! No problem, take your time. I appreciate your help
empty tendon
hmmmm, can you try creating a subscription schedule on the existing subscription first. Then preview the Invoice with the how you would change the subscription schedule instead
viscid temple
I guess that would be an option, the docs said I could use CreatePreview to see the change a subscription schedule would cause. I was trying to avoid creating it until the customer committed to it, just in case something went wrong while trying to get a preview and the schedule didn't cancel again afterwards
empty tendon
yeah, i get where you're coming from, but I think maybe the problem with that is our preview invoice API takes it as you're trying to create a new subscription schedule, which is possibly why you're seeing it charge the full amount for the first phase. I'm not 100% certain about this though, so you can try and test it out to see if what I suggested works first
viscid temple
I'm fairly certain I could get it working by creating a schedule, getting the upcoming invoice, then cancelling it would work, but I just didn't want to risk the cancelling failing haha
empty tendon
i can't think of a better (or any alternative) option off the top of my head 😅
viscid temple
Ahh so the CreatePreview can never work with an existing subscription, it's always going to assume a fresh subscription is going to be resulting from subscription schedule
So I suppose the only options is to temporarily create a subscription schedule or somehow manually calculate prorations
That's fine, it's not ideal, but I can work with that
empty tendon
yep! what you said is the same as what I had in mind too
viscid temple
Alright, I'll have a crack at that. Thanks for your help!
