Hi please share the subscription id and I can take a look at the scenario

Ok I see and to confirm do you want to keep billing cycle anchor the same as subscription creation date while also billing the full $100?
buoyant cedar
100 is just an example amount but yes
No pro rata charge
Same billing cycle
(We use these for investments so it is not a service where user pays based on number of days )
gentle sundial
Ok this isn't super straightforward to do but I'll outline what you can do
you'd update the subscription with the new price while also passing proration_behavior=none: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-proration_behavior
That will ensure that the next invoice on the next billing cycle is the full amount
Now, to bill them for the first month that you missed you'd have to do the following:
Create an invoice item for the amount to charge the customer: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoiceitems/create
Create an Invoice for that invoice item: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-subscription
Finalize and pay it: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/finalize and https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/pay

Okay
And I can also choose to just do the Step 1 correct i.e
Just fix the amount for next cycle and inform the customer that their cycle starts next month (assuming they are okay with it ??)
gentle sundial
Sure
Really what I'd recommend is to just cancel that subscription and create a new one
And then have it bill them immediately
That'd be the easiest thing to do
buoyant cedar
Yes agreed but just getting all the possible options.
One question - the invoice creation step that you mentioned at the end - does it need customer confirmation or we are authorised to do it?
gentle sundial
Unfortunately it depends
It's up to the bank whether or not a payment requires 3ds auth
But that's true of any off-session payment
So would apply to any option you take here
buoyant cedar
Okay and the cancel and create new subscription option, even that requires re authorisation from the customer correct ?
gentle sundial
It depends
On whether or not the bank wants it
If you collected their payment method properly already it's less likely though
buoyant cedar
Less likely to go through or less likely to not go through?
gentle sundial
Less likely for customer to need to authenticate
buoyant cedar
Okay thanks
buoyant cedar
Hi just tried the step one with prorated none on Test mode
But it created a new invoice immediately
