How to implement automatic price increases for Memberstack subscriptions based on time duration and item count using Stripe?

I would like to have a paid membership that automatically increases it's price over a specific duration of time. For example, $10 a month for the first three months, then $15 a month for the next 6 months, then 20 a month. Is this possible to do?

    Hey Laurel Natale 👋

    This is a super interesting use case... are you hoping the price will increase for new customers, existing customers, or both?

    a) Assuming the price increase is the same for all new customers then you can create a new plan each time there is an increase. Existing members would be allowed to stay on their cheaper plans.  

    b) If you want the price to increase on a rolling basis relative to each customer's start date then you could maybe accomplish something with coupon... but I'd need to give that more thought. 

    c) If you want the price to increase for all customers (be and existing) then I'm pretty confident it's not possible. 

    Hopefully at least one of those answers is helpful 😅

    Hi Duncan from Memberstack,

    Thank you for replying and your suggestions!

    I wanted the price to increase for existing members of paid plan. I wanted a plan that would allow their business to grow so I was going to do one monthly cost for the first three months and then increase the price so they would have time to use the site and get started before charging them the full amount.

    I was told this can not be done however.

    Do you think you could accomplish something similar with coupons? i.e. offer a 50% discount that is valid for 3 months, for example?

    Hi everyone! Is there a way to charge dynamic pricing in Memberstack? I'm looking to increase subscription costs based on item count. (user taps add item, stripe page updates subscription count [8/mo > 16/mo]) I know in Stripe you can edit counts, but I am unsure if MS can do the same.

    Hi Alessandro,

    Memberstack integrates with Stripe, which allows you to manage subscriptions and pricing. While Memberstack itself does not directly support dynamic pricing based on item count, you can leverage Stripe's capabilities to adjust subscription counts. You can update the subscription item count in Stripe when a user adds or removes items. This would require using Stripe's API to modify the subscription based on user actions.

    I'm not sure what your setup looks like but I feel the following article could be helpful: https://docs.memberstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/16711820872091--Code-Credit-System-with-Make-com-Webflow
