Hello, I don't have any error, but the use case is :
Let's say I have a subscription to be created for 12months(i.e. I debit every month for 12months) and I have 12 dates (i.e. on which date on that month the debit must happen) how do I Pre set these dates to subscriptions while creating a subscription
would the date be different every month?
not sure I follow the use case. I sign up today, and I get charged Dec 1st, Jan 13th, Feb 22nd, Mar 3rd etc, i.e. the date I get charged each month changes? Or am I misunderstanding?
Yaa
The date that customer gets charged is not consistent, how do I add implement that while creating subscription
do you have to do it that way? It would confuse the customer a lot and probably increase your chance of getting disputes and chargebacks, and also massively complicates the integration.
It's customers requirement, we tried to convince them not to go that way but they want it. πΆπ
I mean our client has this requirement
Not to be rude, but tagging you just in case you missed this @grand drum
ok sorry
sorry but it's an awful idea, one month I pay for 20 days, then I pay next month for 10 days the same amount
anyway, to do this you can I suppose use Schedules yes
it's quite simple β you just start the end_date of the Phases to the exact Unix timestamps you want the cycles to start at.
you'd also want to set billing_cycle_anchor:phase_start in each phase so that an invoice is generated. And probably think about if you want to pass prorate or not
it will take some experimentation on your side but it should all be possible
I know right. It's really awful. Anyway, so if I understand what you suggested correctly, we can do this while creating a subscription?
By following what you suggested
Also, this can be done while creating the subscription itself and not by updating it later point of time?
Asking this question because I see update subscription in the screenshot shared
well it's part of the schedule, so you can either use a Schedule to start the subscription, or create the Subscription first and then associate a schedule with it , either option works : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#managing
