- jdanz 13y agoFor the v1 of multiple subscription support, we don't combine subscriptions into one charge. Hopefully we didn't get a biased sample, but we asked some of our beta users about their preference here and the consensus was for keeping each subscription separate -- per-subscription invoices, and thus per-subscription charges. At the very least, this is likely the simplest thing to reason about, in terms dunning and various unpaid / past due states. I could definitely see us allowing lumping subscriptions into one charge, at least as a configuration option. One thought is that the right solution might be to support specifying at creation time that a subscription's billing cycle should 'snap to' another's, leading them to be invoiced and billed jointly going forward. Would definitely be happy to discuss these use cases more -- jim@stripe
- rpedela 13y agoI am a new Stripe user who is just about to finish implementing a workaround for the limitation of one active subscription per customer. I was excited to see this news, but my excitement was tempered when I read that billing for multiple subscriptions is not consolidated. I would love to see consolidated billing support with multiple subscriptions (configuration option is fine). Until then I will keep my workaround since it does what I want for my customers.
