#nerder - Subscriptions
desert geode
Hello! I recommend you reach out to support, explain your situation in detail, and see if anything can be done to adjust ownership of these Subscriptions from Stripe's side: https://support.stripe.com/contact/email

Hey @desert geode thank you for your fast reply, we are actually doing also that 🙂 Probably our best shot would be if Stripe can migrate the ownership for us from their side.
But as far as you know there is not API that will allow us from the platform to update subscriptions created using the connected account API key right?
desert geode
Correct, there's no way to do this via the API beyond recreating the Subscriptions.
Hopefully support can help you with this, but if you do need to recreate them you'll probably find the backdating Subscriptions docs helpful: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/backdating

You are great, that's actually what we were wondering. So basically the strategy here would be to delete them programatically using the connected account API key, save their subscription period start and then recreate a backdated subscription from our platform right?
So that this will not occur in any charge for the actual subscription holder and they will be billed when was due from the old sub
desert geode
Yep, basically. I encourage a ton of testing to make sure it works exactly the way you expect though!
