Update Subscription quantity without user consent everytime

[iabhinavtoolbox]

Using Paypal Rest APIs for Subscription, User can add more user for which I need to update the quantity of that subscription but for update quantity, I need user's consent everytime which is kind of annoying, is there any better way to handle this problem so user can add multiple user's and he does not have to give consent for every user he added and we will charge him in next billing based on the user's he added

Good day @iabhinavtoolbox 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I regret to inform you that, according to PayPal's standards, we do not currently have any alternative solutions available.

We recommend referring to the detailed guide provided in the links below to learn more about subscriptions.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/

Please find the details outlining the workflow for subscriptions below:

1. Create a product to represent your goods or services.
2. Create a plan to represent the payment cycles for your subscription.
3. Use the JavaScript SDK to present the PayPal button, which starts the subscription process.
4. The buyer agrees and subscribes.
5. The button calls the Subscriptions API to create the subscription.
6. The buyer sees the subscription confirmation.

Hello @Kavyar ,

I trust this message finds you well. I am currently utilizing the https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions_revise endpoint to adjust the subscription quantity. However, I've encountered a scenario where the update takes effect only in the subsequent billing cycle.

To provide more context, if a user's next billing date is February 1, 2024, and they added a user on January 7 with consent granted on the same day, the subscription for that specific added user was unfortunately canceled on January 30. Now, the challenge at hand is figuring out how to bill the user for the 24 days during which they utilized my platform.

Could you kindly direct me to any relevant documentation or provide assistance on how to handle billing for the partial usage period in such cases? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

Abhinav [removed]
