#

Could you rephrase the question? Is that you want to pause a Subscription?

hallow glade Oct 4, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

I want to send a future pause request to stripe...

#

Currently I can pause subscriptions that starts on the same day as the request.

#

So I need to use a cron job which is not the best thing my team wants to use for that.

#

But why do you want to pause a Subscription after create it?

#

out of curiosity

#

to "pause" a subscription normally requires the Subscription is already existed

#

Are you creating a Subscription and immediately Update it and send out pause_collection? I think it's okay-ish to do that, beside the reason why you would need such a scenario

#

In our platform we let our experts take vacations, so we don't want to charge them during that.

#

We normally charge them monthly but not when they don't want to use our platform and make any revenue.

#

Ah I see, okie

#

And you don't want to change the billing cycle date?

#

To keep the Subscription starts on predict time, not change to when they end their vacation and come back?

#

I don't have any requirement for cycle date... what I want to do is instead of pausing customer subscription plan through cron job which pauses immediately, I want to send an request to stripe which will be executed by stripe to pause the subscription in the future.

#

I have followed this page for that https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/pause

Pause payment collection

Learn how to pause payment collection on subscriptions.

#

Can we send a start_date or something similar in the pause_collection ?

#

No we can't, all the possible parameters is listed here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-pause_collection

You mean by the time of Updating the Subscription, you want to sort of scheduling a Pause?

Would you know when do you want to pause, in the time of Creating Subscription instead?
