hello @mighty crown, could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by different proration behaviour - is there some unexpected behaviour?

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 6:33 AM

#

My use case whenever i downgrade quantities it should always happen at the end of billing period not immediately

#

While passing Subscription update params i have passed different proration behaviour options like None, Create_prorations etc.

#

How to achieve above use case ?

#

there's two ways to go about it :

you can set the current subscription to cancel_at_period_end=true [0] and schedule a new subscription with a new quantity to begin when the old subscription ends [1]
Or, you can create a subscription schedule from the existing subscription : https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-from_subscription and then update the quantity in another phase

Thanks. But what is difference between these 2 approaches ?

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 6:57 AM

#

it's entirely up to you which you prefer to use

#

there's no real difference other than how you implement it

#

hmmm, maybe the one difference i can think of is that for the first one, you'd end up with a new subscription when you update the quantity because you're cancelling the old subscription and creating a new subscription

#

In the first one also we need to update after creating scheduled subscription right ?

#

I would like to achieve atomic implementation

#

If one step fails it should rollback

#

if you're saying that you need to update the cancel_at_billing_end after creating the schedule subscription - you can do it either before or after you create the subscription schedule

#

if you want to achieve atomicity, then you'd have to implement the "rollback" yourself

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 7:14 AM

#

Ok. you can create a subscription schedule from the existing subscription - > In this also first scheduled subscription will be created and then we have to update the quantities right ?

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

yep

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 7:38 AM

#

Will the payment methods from existing subscription goes to new subscription if we schedule a subscription. No need to update anything right

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

which option are you using? option 1 or option 2?

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 7:44 AM

#

If option2 does that job, i will go with that.

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

yeah, option 2 would be easier in that sense, since you're only updating the quantity

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 7:47 AM

#

But in the option2, how to update quantities, i am not able to see in SubscriptionScheduleUpdateParams

#

i'm not that familiar with java but i think this is what you're probably looking for : https://stripe.dev/stripe-java/com/stripe/param/SubscriptionScheduleUpdateParams.Phase.Item.html

#

Any example to update scheduled subscription i can refer, this is becoming very complex

#

?

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 8:10 AM

#

let me see if i can put something together, i'll get back to you in a bit

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 8:11 AM

#

ok Thanks.

#

Mine is simple use case update quantities of scheduled subscription

mighty crown Oct 11, 2021, 8:45 AM

#

@gleaming oasis I am waiting on this. Thanks in advance

gleaming oasis Oct 11, 2021, 8:51 AM

#

sorry, i'm tied up with something else at the moment, i'll respond in this thread when i have a sample

@mighty crown you can try the attached, the code snippet is too long to reply in discord, so attaching as a text file
