Hi

[low inlet]

You remove a product from a subscription by updating the Subscription items. Have you tested out reseting the items to not include the product?

Changing quantity is not a method to remove an item so that would be expected.

[quick kindle]

i updated the subscription item with this code

stripe.Subscription.modify("sub_1L6K7FJOFr5bboslb9MIkyu8", items = [{"id": "si_LnvzJju6vEqPnR", "quantity": 0}], prorate=False)

is there a specific code in the apis documentation for reseting the items of the subscription?

[low inlet]

So you want to empty the items in this subscription? The customer is subscribed to nothing?

[quick kindle]

nope. i was just doing a spike for multi-product invoicing and i'm trying to figure out how it behaves in certain scenarios

so if i drop the quantity of one product to 0 it wont automatically be removed fro the subscription. I understand that now.

[low inlet]

I would try passing a new set of items that doesn't include an object for the item you want to remove

[quick kindle]

oh ok

i'll try that out and see what happens

but in that case it would mean updating the whole subscription and not just its items

stripe.Subscription.modify

is this assumption correct?

[low inlet]

Well you are updating the actual subscription by making changes to the items.

stripe.Subscription.modify("sub_XXXXX", items=[{'id': 'some_other_thing", "quantity": 2},])

[quick kindle]

thats true.

oh wait

what if i dont want to add something new

just drop one of the existing items

what would the request look like

[low inlet]

I haven't tested this (it's been kind of busy) but I would try stripe.Subscription.modify("sub_XXXXX", items=[])

And see what you get

Also this is Python syntax so if you're using a different language feel free to re-arrange the syntax

[quick kindle]

i use python so its fine

i'll try this out

thanks
