Can Koudoku serve as a monthly subscription multiplier?

[alexung]

Hi folks,

First off, thanks for your work on Koudoku -- the engine looks fantastic.

Secondly, would like to ask about how to use a multiplier for each subscription model -- what I mean is that consumers would be charged 1 price / 1 subscription / month and if they were to buy more subscriptions to the same product then it would multiply the price accordingly.

For instance, if a single monthly subscription to product X is $1 / month, then I would like users to be able to purchase multiple subscriptions to this same product, (if they purchase 3, then they're essentially paying $3 / month).

Is this possible? And if not, do you know of alternatives in the rails community that might suit this need?

Thanks!

@alexung I had a similar situation where I wanted to charge a per seat price ($5/user/month). I was able to accomplish it by updating the quantity of the plan. In my scenario I have subscriptions on the Company instead of User:

def update_subscription_quantity(quantity)
  stripe_plan_id = company.subscription.plan.stripe_id
  stripe_customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve(company.subscription.stripe_id)
  stripe_customer.update_subscription(stripe_plan_id, quantity: quantity)
end

@neeaagh - Does this charge users accordingly if they purchase a "seat" half-way through a billing cycle?

@ACPK In @neeaagh's example, he's just using the native Stripe functionality for adding quantities of a subscription. As a result, it's going to use Stripe's proration logic. (I don't remember off the top of my head what it will do in this situation.)
