Hi there! Have you read through https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade yet?
That explains how to handle these upgrades and downgrades including billing cycle anchor and prorations!
Give it a look and let me know if you have follow up questions!
young siren
The doc discusses that as well
For example, switching a customer from one monthly subscription to another does not change the billing dates.

I am clear with above doc but I am not able to understand if I want to accept remaining amount then how to redirect user to stripe built in checkout page?
young siren
What collection method are you using for your Subscription?
noble pebble
you mean payment method? if yes then it is card payment only
should I again create new checkout session? also how will this remaining amount get calculated will stripe do it for me or do I need to write logic on my own and pass it to checkout session API request payload? Is there any better way to do it?
young siren
Okay let's back up for a second.
You are using Stripe Checkout to create Subscriptions for your customers and charge them for the initial invoice, correct?
noble pebble
yes correct
young siren
Thanks, and are you using (or plan to use) the Customer Portal to help manage the Subscription?
young siren
Okay so after the Subscription is created, you want to set the paymentmethod that was used by the customer as their default paymentmethod
noble pebble
ok so looks like stripe does all the hard work for me if I integrate customer billing portal then user can update/cancel subscription there itself I dont have to write any logic on my end is that correct?
young siren
Correct
I would recommend the customer portal
So that you don't have to manage Paymentmethods for your customers
noble pebble
yes got it. Let me go ahead and integrate it. thanks a lot for your help. I was thinking that I would have to make use of subscription upgrade/downgrade APIs. Thanks once again 🙂 🙏
Issue resolved can be closed now 🙂
sorry one question
why cannot I add multiple products in customer billing portal?
gives me this msg
I am trying to add $14 and $24 both plans so that user can upgrade/downgrade to anyone
young siren
Yeah this would create two line items that state the same thing. The expectation is that you would create a different product here.
noble pebble
currently on checkout built in page I have single product with 2 prices $14 and 24 so in customer billing portal that will not work you are saying?? I will have to create 2 products one priced at $14 and other $14 is that what you are saying??
