https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#settings

The subscription remains in a past_due state after the maximum number of days defined in the retry schedule. Invoices continue to be generated and charge customer based on retry settings.

#

okay, in that stage (Subscription status => 'leave the subscription as-is' ) invoice will generate every months right??

#

and also subscription will not cancelled and expired?

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 6:46 AM

#

yes that's correct

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 6:48 AM

#

okay nice, that is I need...if I need to downgrade them after the 2months (2 invoices) how can i do that ?

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 6:49 AM

#

you can schedule a subscription update using subscription schedules : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules. It's possible to do this via the Dashboard also

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 6:55 AM

#

I just need to downgrade if they unpaid both invoices (2)...

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 6:55 AM

#

oh alright, sorry, i misunderstood

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 6:55 AM

#

not for every two invoices

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 6:56 AM

#

that's not a feature that we offer unfortunately. You'll have to implement your own logic for that

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 6:59 AM

#

Okay not a problem,for example i can trigger from stripe (webhook) to my product when invoice creation and check the pending invoices at the time and downgrade them thats right..??

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:01 AM

#

yep

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:03 AM

#

okay thanks, there is only one change in my stripe (Manage failed payments -> Subscription status => 'leave the subscription as-is' ) for this scenario right...??

#

Are there no other changes in Manage failed payments section??

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:09 AM

#

no other changes

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:14 AM

#

okay thanks for this 😇

#

after the downgrade the invoice appear until they pay ??

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:17 AM

#

sorry, i don't quite understand this after the downgrade the invoice appear until they pay , could you try rephrasing?

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:21 AM

#

okay, after I downgrade manually using that webhook check and that previous invoices will appear right until they pay that??

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:22 AM

#

are you asking if your customers are still able to pay previous invoices after downgrading?

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:34 AM

#

yes thats it !

#

its still available for paying previous bills?

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:42 AM

#

yes, they still can pay the previous invoice. You would want to void the invoice if you don't want them to pay. You can also test things out

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:42 AM

#

yes, using Manage failed payments -> Invoice status right...?

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:44 AM

#

yep

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

Okay, I understood, thanks..✌️

#

if I upgrade the plan between the current cycle, then-current cycle invoice will be generated immediately??

idle tapir Jul 21, 2022, 7:53 AM

#

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

Stripe immediately attempts payment for these subscription changes:

From a subscription that doesn’t require payment (for example, due to a trial or free subscription) to a paid subscription
When the billing period changes...
If you want the customer to immediately pay the price difference when switching to a more expensive subscription on the same billing cycle, you can set proration_behavior to always_invoice, which will calculate the proration and then immediately generate an invoice after making the switch.

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 7:58 AM

#

Is this same for Usage-based billing??

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 8:22 AM

#

?

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 8:23 AM

#

👋 stepping in for my colleague since they had to step away

#

let me catch up

#

could you please summarize the Q?

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 8:57 AM

#

okay

#

if I upgrade the plan between the current cycle, then-current cycle invoice will be generated immediately in the usage-based plan??

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:01 AM

#

it will depend on what type of plans are you upgrading to

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 9:03 AM

#

okay, in that stage (Subscription status => 'leave the subscription as-is' ) invoice will generate every month right??
and also subscription will not be canceled and expire?

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:04 AM

#

this is when the invoice is not paid you mean?

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 9:04 AM

#

yes

#

in my scenario I need to downgrade after 2 invoices are not paid, so can I use the webhook trigger(when invoice create) and downgrade from my product using API then that previous invoices are still available to pay correct??

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:10 AM

#

yes

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 9:14 AM

#

If I renew a subscription the same subscription will continue with the change of the current_period_end date ??

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:15 AM

#

you don't actually renew a subscription

#

the subscription gets renewed automatically upon current_period_end unless specified otherwise

#

okay, that's auto payment, if they renewed the subscription, it will be created new or the same subscription be updated...?

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

same subscription updated

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 9:30 AM

#

okay, you mean the current_period_end date will be updated or added 30 days or something..?

chrome dune Jul 21, 2022, 9:41 AM

#

yes depending on the interval of the subscription

ivory ice Jul 21, 2022, 9:46 AM
