Subscriptions can now delay the first full invoice to a future date (and optionally include a free trial)Breaking changes

What’s new

Allows a new subscription’s first full invoice to be on a future date by specifying billing_cycle_anchor, with an optional proration up to that date. billing_cycle_anchor on its own is available retroactively to past versions. Starting in this version, you can combine billing_cycle_anchor with a trial, enabling a free trial to be followed by a prorated period, followed by a fixed billing cycle.

Impact

Lets you set a future date for a new subscription’s first full invoice using billing_cycle_anchor, with optional prorations. It enables more flexible subscription management by allowing combinations of trials, prorated periods, and fixed billing cycles.

Upgrade

  1. View your current API version in Workbench.
  2. If you use an SDK, upgrade to the corresponding SDK version for this API version.

  3. Upgrade the API version used for webhook endpoints.
