Cancel a subscription

DELETE / v1 / subscriptions /:id

Cancels a customer’s subscription immediately. The customer won’t be charged again for the subscription. After it’s canceled, the subscription is largely immutable. You can still update its metadata and cancellation_details.

Any pending invoice items that you’ve created are still charged at the end of the period, unless manually deleted. If you’ve set the subscription to cancel at the end of the period, any pending prorations are also left in place and collected at the end of the period. But if the subscription is set to cancel immediately, pending prorations are removed if invoice_now and prorate are both set to false.

By default, upon subscription cancellation, Stripe stops automatic collection of all finalized invoices for the customer. This is intended to prevent unexpected payment attempts after the customer has canceled a subscription. However, you can resume automatic collection of the invoices manually after subscription cancellation to have us proceed. Or, you could check for unpaid invoices before allowing the customer to cancel the subscription at all.

Parameters

No parameters.

More parameters

cancellation _ details object
invoice _ now boolean
prorate boolean

Returns

The canceled Subscription object. Its subscription status will be set to canceled.

Resume a subscription

POST / v1 / subscriptions /:id / resume

Initiates resumption of a paused subscription, optionally resetting the billing cycle anchor and creating prorations. Resume is only available for subscriptions that use charge_automatically collection. If Stripe doesn’t generate a resumption invoice, the subscription becomes active immediately. When a resumption invoice is generated, Stripe finalizes it immediately. If the invoice is paid or marked uncollectible, the subscription becomes active. If the invoice is manually voided, the subscription stays paused. If there is no payment attempt within 23 hours, Stripe voids the invoice and the subscription stays paused. Learn more about resuming subscriptions.

Parameters

billing _ cycle _ anchor enum The billing cycle anchor that applies when the subscription is resumed. Either now or unchanged. The default is now. For more information, see the billing cycle documentation. Possible enum values now Reset the subscription’s billing cycle anchor to the current time (in UTC) and start a new billing period. unchanged Advance the subscription to the period that surrounds the current time without resetting the billing cycle anchor.
proration _ behavior enum Determines how to handle prorations resulting from the billing_cycle_anchor being unchanged. When the billing_cycle_anchor is set to now (default value), no prorations are generated. If no value is passed, the default is create_prorations. Possible enum values always_invoice Always invoice immediately for prorations. create_prorations Will cause proration invoice items to be created when applicable. These proration items will only be invoiced immediately under certain conditions. none Disable creating prorations in this request.

More parameters

proration _ date timestamp

Returns

The subscription object.
