Hi @rough smelt so basically you want to extend the customer's trial_end when they manages to refer someone, am I right?

Update a subscription | Stripe API Reference

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:13 AM

#

yes

#

But I am unable to do because of the below?

The trial period must be 730 days (2 years) or less.

#

I have a 2 years plan. I am unable to extend trial end date for 2 years plan

pure sky Dec 1, 2025, 7:16 AM

#

Hmm, so you want to give your customer a free trial for more than 2 years?

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:16 AM

#

yes

#

this has been a blocker for us

pure sky Dec 1, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

A workaround will be applying a 100% coupon to the subscription for 24 months.

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

could you expand on this?

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons#coupon-duration

Coupons and promotion codes

Create coupons with percentage or amount off discounts and generate customer-facing promotion codes with redemption limits, expiration dates, and stacking support.

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:19 AM

#

It won't serve our purpose. We want to provide free days.

pure sky Dec 1, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

You mean you want the trial in a granularity of days?

#

Ok, then you can consider to cancel the subscription after 2 years and create a new one with remaining trial period.

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:26 AM

#

we dont want to cancel susbcription as the user may go away

pure sky Dec 1, 2025, 7:29 AM

#

The subscription is managed internally by your applaction and your customer won't know when it's cancelled.

rough smelt Dec 1, 2025, 7:35 AM

#

their email is associated with the susbcription. they wlll get email.

#

other than that, they can access stripe customer portal as well

pure sky Dec 1, 2025, 7:40 AM

#

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/pause-payment or you can pause payment collection for two years
