Subscription proration ensures members are only charged for what they actually use when switching plans.
When a member upgrades or downgrades their subscription, the unused portion of their current plan is applied as credit toward the new plan. This credit is calculated by Stripe and automatically reflected in the final price directly on the checkout page.
This creates a fair and seamless experience when members move between plans, with the adjusted amount shown before they complete the payment.
Where does proration apply?
Proration applies when a member changes their subscription plan.
You’ll see the adjusted price during checkout under “Total amount billed today.” This is the final amount after the proration credit has been applied. There is no separate line item showing the proration calculation. The final price already includes it.
