Updating subscriptions

You can update the following parameters associated with a subscription:

• Platform Fee (%)

• Plan Name

• Price

• Interval (day, week, month, year)

There are 3 steps involved in updating a subscription:

1. Creating the subscription and saving the relevant data

2. Creating a new 'Price' object in Stripe

3. Updating the subscription

You can see examples of these steps in this page of our demo app

Creating a subscription and saving the relevant data

You can learn how to create a new marketplace subscription in this section of the documentation. However, you will need to ensure you save down the following data if you plan to later update the subscription:

• Stripe Subscription ID - can be retrieved with the 'Stripe Connect - Retrieve Checkout Session' call that comes with the plugin

• Stripe Subscription Item ID - can be retrieved with the 'Stripe Connect - Retrieve a Subscription' call that comes with the plugin. See step 2 of this workflow for an example.

Creating a new price object in Stripe

In order to update the price, plan name and interval associated with a subscription, you will first need to create a new 'price'. You can do this manually via your Stripe dashboard, or use the 'Stripe Connect - Create Price' action that comes with the Stripe Connect - Marketplace plugin.

You can see the workflow associated with the 'Create Price Object' button in the demo app for an example of how to use this action.

Updating the Subscription

You can use the 'Stripe Connect - Update Subscription' action to update a subscription. Please note that while the price, plan name and interval parameters are updated via the price object, you can update the % your platform takes from each subscription payment via the 'Stripe Connect - Update Subscription' action:

You can see the workflow associated with the 'Update Subscription' button in the demo app for an example of how to use this action.
