The best way to do this would be to create a Subscription with a very short trial or billing cycle anchor to force the renewal to happen quickly after creation

The minimum time is 1 day?

#

Ah, are you trying to do this through the dashboard? The dashboard has a minimum of 1 day, but the API doesn't have this limitation

I am using Stripe Checkout session

hollow kraken Jan 5, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

Ah, Checkout also has similar restrictions so your options are pretty limited there

#

I haven't tried this out, but after the Checkout Session you could try updating the created Subscription to set a shorter trial_end (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-trial_end) and see if that works.

Oh ok thank you will try this

#

I have another question, is the Stripe checkout session and stripe billing portal auto-send receipt to customer's email?

hollow kraken Jan 5, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

If you want receipts to be automatically sent to your customers that's something you'd enable through the dashboard (https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails)

#

I already enabled but I think this will work in a live mode, not in test mode?

hollow kraken Jan 5, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

Correct! Receipts are not automatically sent in test mode
