domain: stripe.com/docs · 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Create or retrieve a Customer object and attach a default payment method
  2. Create a SubscriptionSchedule via POST /v1/subscription_schedules with start_behavior set to now and phases array containing the promotional phase (price, iterations, coupon) followed by the standard phase (price, no end_date so it runs indefinitely)
  3. Set proration_behavior on each phase transition to create_prorations or none based on billing policy
  4. Listen for customer.subscription.updated webhooks to detect phase transitions and update your application state
  5. To modify the schedule later, use POST /v1/subscription_schedules/:id with the updated phases array; the end_behavior field controls what happens when all phases complete
