@lean oxide a prorated amount from the time you create the subscription to when the billing anchor is

like if the price is $100 and you create it on the 15th of the month and the anchor is the 1st of the month, the prorated amount they're charged today is roughly $50, for example.

[lean oxide]

yeah that I have got it but is there anyway or any api in which I can pass on the price id and billing anchor to check how much will they be charged

[gloomy osprey]

yes, you want the upcoming invoice endpoint.

[lean oxide]

I have not yet created the subscription

[gloomy osprey]

https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming with the details of the subscription you're going to create

[gloomy osprey]

doesn't matter, it still works! I'd suggest trying it.

[lean oxide]

okay let me check

[lean oxide]

@gloomy osprey

I tried it but it didn't worked

[gloomy osprey]

can you elaborate? what did you see versus what you expected to see?

[lean oxide]

I wants to create a subscription with the price_id= price_1K01PICmxQwltEUMcvD9VJSd, and I am passing the billing anchor = 1638316800000

so now stripe will not charge the full amount of 67.32 from the customer it will only charge till the billing anchor.

Now I want to know how stripe calculate the amount to be charged so that I will be able to show the same amount to my customer

[gloomy osprey]

sounds good! What code did you try to call that upcoming invoice endpoint then?

[lean oxide]

I tried it on the postman

actually I am unsure on what param to pass to get the upcoming invoice

[gloomy osprey]

what did you try?

if it helps I did it just now in Node, it's these parameters :

const invoice = await stripe.invoices.retrieveUpcoming({
  customer: customer.id,
  subscription_items:[{price:"plan_DQYe83yUGgx1LE"}],
  subscription_billing_cycle_anchor:"1638316800",  
});

you pass the items you want, and the billing anchor. It's all in the API reference. https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming?lang=node#upcoming_invoice-subscription_billing_cycle_anchor

the response will have a line item for the amount. ($14.54 in my particular case, would be different for you).

I'd suggest giving it a try! if you're stuck with something please share exactly what you're tried so far.
