Hey! Taking over from @crude apex – just catching up

Just so I understand your use case completely, you're looking to increase the quantity of an existing subscription?
umbral moon
yes
the normlay start with one or 2 property
and then 4-5 month add some
or delete 1 or 2
this will all be automated
and all need be valid 1 year after need to be charge again
uncut pilot
sounds good, it's possible to do that with Stripe's API. Are you a developer?
uncut pilot
ok, if they have specific questions let us know. Otherwise you should start by reading the documentation(https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview) and go from there.

Hi @uncut pilot
We currently want to auto charge a client whenever they add a property
can you please send me the link to that api you told bex about i check it out
from the current stripe documentation it highlights that its not possible
uncut pilot
what have you built so far(if anything)? Just so I know exactly what products you're using.
uncut pilot
from the current stripe documentation it highlights that its not possible
do you happen to have a link to where you read that?
steep flume
let me describe the usecase in 1 minute
we have built a website like bookings.com, this website allows a host to upload details of his property where clients can easily access and book for any rooms.
however a host has to pay a yearly fee of $19.
we currently want to automatically charge a host whenever he adds a new property to his profile without him having to pass through the same process
uncut pilot
cool, you can do that in many ways!
for example, it's an off-session payment of a saved card, which is covered in the documentation at e.g. https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment?platform=web#web-create-payment-intent-off-session
or if you use our Billing product to do recurring payments, there are ways to force an immediate payment when something on the subscription changes. So really it depends what technical parts of the product you use but it's all completely possible.
steep flume
that's great, thanks.
so the host will be charged automatically without us first having to send him an invoice and reminders
do you also have the capability of handling VAT validations, forexample;
We want to be able to validate a host's VAT number to calculate the tax they need to pay.
uncut pilot
have a look at https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/tax-ids
(assuming you just want us to validate the tax ID and then you have your own logic for calculating the tax amount)
steep flume
yes
