Setting up a unique monthly subscription billing cycle that ends on the final day of the current month within Stripe

Currently, I'm in the process of integrating a unique monthly subscription billing cycle into Stripe using Node js. One specific requirement I have is that the user's initial subscription period must always conclude on the final day of the present month, regardless of when they initially sign up. Here's the scenario that I could use some assistance with:

For example, if a user signs up on April 20th, I would like their first subscription period to end on April 30th, aligning perfectly with the conclusion of the current month. Following this, the second subscription period should commence on May 1st.

I am seeking advice on how to accomplish this using either Stripe's API or implementing custom logic within my application. Instead of utilizing trial periods for this setup, I am interested in exploring other options.

If anyone could provide insights on how to establish such a billing cycle within Stripe or recommend alternative methods to achieve this functionality, it would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, prior to creating the subscription when users pay through my stripe payment links, I want to execute certain logic so that the subscription period ends on the last day of the current month.

Answer №1

Payment Links don't offer the possibility for this specific feature due to their simplicity.

If you're looking for a more advanced solution, consider using Stripe Checkout, which requires server-side implementation.
To achieve your desired result with Stripe Checkout, you can set the last day of the month in Unix time as the 

subscription_data.billing_cycle_anchor
(reference).

For even more complexity, you can explore direct Subscriptions from Stripe Checkout, which also involves server-side setup and collecting payment methods through various channels.
Stripe recently introduced the new billing_cycle_config object (reference), offering a convenient way to specify the billing date for the next Subscription without needing to calculate a Unix timecode.
