#

hi @half quiver thanks !

half quiver May 18, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

Thank you for your patience.
So if I understand it correctly,

Example
Plan A - $10 a month
Plan B - $40 a month

the customer wants to upgrade from A to B immediately (without proration but only paying the difference - $30)

is that correct?

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/upgrade-downgrade are the docs.

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

thanks

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

as far as I know there's not really any automated way to do what you want though

#

you'd have to manually calculate the $30 in that example

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

is it possible to do it on the dashboard ?

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:13 AM

#

and then add it as an invoice item and create a manual invoice https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#generating-invoices

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:15 AM

#

id like to do it directly form the dashboard, is it possible please ?

#

we don't have time to implement this specific feature

#

thanks for your understanding

#

sterile current id like to do it directly form the dashboard, is it possible please ?

we answer questions about the API from developers here so I'm not sure what the dashboard can do but it probably is possible

#

I'd suggest experimenting with it in test mode

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:23 AM

#

noted

#

im gonna use a subscription schedule then

#

& add a coupon

#

schedule now + 3 min for instance

#

is it possible to not update the cycle please ?

#

i mean the start & end of the current period can be the same as before the schedule ?

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:25 AM

#

yep totally possible

#

 phases: [{
          start_date:subscription.current_period_start,
          end_date:subscription.current_period_end,
...

for example.

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

so i set 2 phases or just 1

#

?

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:30 AM

#

I don't know, I don't know what your goal is.

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:31 AM

#

i client of mine has sub to the wrong plan

#

& he wants to upgrade it now

#

but the thing is that our api allows plan update but for the end of the current period

#

so he wont be able to use his new plan now

#

im looking for a solution to allow him to upgrade his plan now
without proration

#

but just debit the difference between the 2 plans : 30 euros

#

& i dont want to update the periods

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:36 AM

#

then you likely want a Schedule with two phases then yes, one for the current period using the current price, and one starting at the end of the period using the new price. You could use add_invoice_items to add a manual difference https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-phases-add_invoice_items

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:36 AM

#

nice !

#

thanks a lot

#

so he wont be charged of 99 euros if i add my own invoice right ?

shadow remnant May 20, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

where did 99 come from?

sterile current May 20, 2022, 10:37 AM

#

sorry it's the price of the new plan

#

that he wants to upgrade to
