Hey! Can you share the ID of a particular Subscription object where this behaviour is evident?

onyx heron Nov 22, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

Sure, sub_1JmgZ0GKlXGxR30symUbPvPP

#

Thanks, let me take a look

#

Still checking, sorry

#

Hey! Seems additional invoice items like this are subject to a billing cycle inline with the creation date of the Subscription object

#

Not the regular billing cycle anchor

#

And if not, how do we remove pending_invoice_item_interval from the subscription?
You can just unset it with an update. null value should do it

#

I see, I tried updating it with PendingInvoiceItemInterval = null but that seem to just ignore the value, nothing is changed in the subscription. Anything I'm doing wrong? I'm using .NET

await service.UpdateAsync(subscriptionId, new SubscriptionUpdateOptions
{
PendingInvoiceItemInterval = null,
});

#

Hmm, there's no payload body

#

Wonder if null values are omitted

onyx heron Nov 22, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

I think they are, otherwise everything in that subscription would be reset I suppose. Since I don't supply any values

vagrant island Nov 22, 2021, 12:53 PM

#

Is there a specific reason why you can't just add an additional line item via a Price to the Subscription?

#

You can have greater control over billing dates that way

onyx heron Nov 22, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

Hmm, not sure I understand what you mean

#

We are considering changing to creating the invoices ourselves the 1st each month instead of using pending invoice items

vagrant island Nov 22, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

Sorry, misspoke. A separate subscription to handle the monthly charge: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/multiple-products#multiple-subscriptions-for-a-customer

This capability is useful when you want to make it possible for your customers to subscribe to multiple products with separate intervals

Subscriptions with multiple products

Create subscriptions with multiple products, all billed in a single invoice.

#

A single subscription can't handle multiple products with different intervals unfortunately

onyx heron Nov 22, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

Ah, I see. I'll read up on it and see if that might be a better solution. Thanks for the help so far

vagrant island Nov 22, 2021, 1:06 PM

#

Np!

@onyx heron The usage APIs doesn't work for us. I don't remember exactly why but I think there was multiple reasons. One in particular because they were to picky about the period which doesn't work for us
