Context: I have a subscription managed by a SubscriptionSchedule with two phases:
- Phase 1: Free trial
- Phase 2: Yearly paid subscription (auto-renews annually)
The subscription is currently in Phase 2 (active yearly billing).
What I want to do: Offer a paid extension of a few months. I charge the customer manually via InvoiceItem + Invoice. After the extension period ends, the subscription should resume yearly auto-renewal from the new end date.
Example: - Yearly renewal date: April 4, 2027
- User extends by 3 months → we charge manually for 3 months
- No Stripe auto-charge should fire on April 4, 2027
- Next Stripe yearly charge fires: July 4, 2027
- Then July 4, 2028, July 4, 2029... and so on
Questions:
- What is the correct way to modify the SubscriptionSchedule phases to achieve this — specifically to suppress the April 4, 2027 auto-charge and restart yearly billing from July 4, 2027?
- Is inserting a trial: true phase from April 4 → July 4 the right approach, and will it correctly suppress the yearly invoice?
- When providing phases to SubscriptionSchedule.modify, do I need to include the current active phase (start_date is in the past) or only future phases?
- Is there a simpler recommended pattern for a schedule-managed yearly subscription with a manual paid extension?
are you there ?
