👋 happy to help

#

I don't think I follow. do you mean you want to create a subscription schedule that starts in the future?

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 9:23 AM

#

Yes

#

The current flow is

create schedule
update it with the following details
2.1 Current phase
2.2 Other phases

#

I want to omit the 2.1

#

why not start by creating directly a subscription schedule

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

I don't think I follow. Could be more specific?

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 9:38 AM

#

Oh sorry my bad, I read create subscription in 1

#

🤦

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-start_date

#

this would give you the ability to start your schedule in the future

#

the first phase would have the start_date of the schedule

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 9:43 AM

#

Yeah but when I pass the subscription in the from it simply rejects my request with message start_date not allowed with subscription

#

:/

#

if you're creating a schedule you can do it without creating a subscription first

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 9:53 AM

#

I see so for an existing subscription it is not possible

#

then

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 9:54 AM

#

yes

#

because there's already a current phase

#

when you're using a pre-existing subscription

#

Also I have one question, lets say I am using a subscription with 50$ plan and the current user tries to upgrade it to 100$. Then based on create_invoice proration it will charge 50$ and start the billing from current date after successful collection of paymnt.

But if same happens. Lets say the user goes from 50$ plan to a 10$ plan with create_invoice, how many invoices will be of 0$?

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 9:57 AM

#

I guess what happens is basically the proration would generate a negative amount that would go to the customer balance

#

and that would be used in the future invoices to pay the invoice

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 10:29 AM

#

I see, then that balance will be adjusted everytime to have the invoice of $0 until all that balance runs out

#

Can I see the balance for the customer on the dashboard?

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 10:31 AM

#

yes on the Customer's page

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 10:32 AM

#

Lets say there are two subscriptions. Can I use this balance for one of them and not the other?

#

I know this doesnt make sense

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

no the Customer balance will always be used first

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

but I can say this to the client 😅

#

You know how dumb and arrogant they are

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 10:33 AM

#

spring solstice no the Customer balance will always be used first

I see, thanks for this 👍

spring solstice Jul 13, 2022, 10:38 AM

#

let me know if you need any more help

polar nimbus Jul 13, 2022, 10:38 AM

#

yeah sure
