Hey, you can control that to work however you want. What is the desired behaviour and what have you tried so far?
hazy ore
I'd like to override the items that are in the subscriptions with a new list of items
dreamy shale
Sure, then you'd just pass a list to the items parameter in your update call with just the new items: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-items
hazy ore
they need to be all new, right?
dreamy shale
Well you'll likely have at least 1 existing subscription item, so you'd need to pass the si_xxx ID of that one with the new price_xxx
hazy ore
look at this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_P2bBlAgWeocHbq
it didn't replace the items but added them
dreamy shale
Yep, you need to pass items[]id: 'si_xxx' for the Subscription Item you want to change
hazy ore
that's not the same
as I told you
I want to replace the items with a new list of items
is that even possible?
dreamy shale
Then you'd pass items[]id and items[]deleted: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-items-deleted
Which is basically the same as what I originally told you to do
hazy ore
so:
- I query the current items
- I update the subscription with the new items
- I delete the old items
would that work?
dreamy shale
Yup. Or you can just update the existing si_xxx items with the new Price objects. Either works!
hazy ore
that's not optimal because there could be changes to the vat_rate as well
and what's the difference between
stripe.SubscriptionItem.delete(sid)
and stripe.Subscription.modify(subscription_id, items={"id": "sid", "deleted"=true})
?
dreamy shale
Nothing really it's just a different endpoint for a single task
You'd still need to call the update endpoint too in your example, so you're better off just doing that
Otherwise you'll end up with 1+n requests as opposed to just 1
hazy ore
I've been trying it out, seems like it will work, will update you once it arrives to the sandbox env 🙂
now I have another question @dreamy shale
are you still there?? or should I ask @fickle anchor ?
hazy ore
cool
thank you
we were talking about subscriptions items update
I managed to override the items
but the removed items are creating prorations on the current invoice
and the upcoming invoice of the subscription https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1LG3SVBEDYDqpisuBbgToGIO
how can I prevent that behavior?
fickle anchor
Thanks! Give me a few minutes to look into this.
hazy ore
is it fine if I just pass the proration_behavior="none" ?
fickle anchor
Sorry for the delay. If you don't want prorations, then yes you should pass proration_behavior="none" during your udpate call.
