Enables prebilling for subscriptionsPublic preview

What’s new

You can now prebill subscriptions for a longer duration than their current billing period, and choose which subscription items you want to prebill.

Subscriptions must use flexible billing mode to use prebilling.

Impact

You can now prebill subscriptions by setting the billing_schedules parameter in the following APIs:

  • Create a subscription
  • Update a subscription
  • Create a preview invoices

You can configure how long you want to prebill for by using billing_schedules.bill_until, and which prices you want to prebill using billing_schedules.applies_to. You can also identify the date each subscription item has been billed until using subscriptions.items.data.billed_until the field.
