# Create a new subscriber
subscriber = await client.create_subscriber(
    external_id="store_123",      # Your internal ID
    email="[e-mail]",
    name="My Store",
    company_name="Store Inc.",    # Optional
    vat_number="IT12345678901",   # Optional
)

# Get subscriber by external ID
subscriber = await client.get_subscriber(external_id="store_123")

Subscriptions

# Get active subscription
subscription = await client.get_subscription(external_id="store_123")

if subscription:
    print(subscription.status)              # "active", "trialing", "past_due", etc.
    print(subscription.plan_slug)           # "pro"

)

# Change plan
await client.change_plan(

    prorate=True,
)

Checkout Sessions

# Create checkout session for new subscription

    plan_slug="pro",
    billing_cycle="monthly",  # or "yearly"
    success_url="https://yourapp.com/billing?status=success",
    cancel_url="https://yourapp.com/billing?status=canceled",
    coupon_code="WELCOME20",  # Optional discount code
)

# Redirect user to Stripe checkout
redirect_url = session.checkout_url

Customer Portal

# Create portal session for subscription management
portal = await client.create_portal_session(
    customer_external_id="store_123",
    return_url="https://yourapp.com/billing",
)

# Redirect user to Stripe portal
redirect_url = portal.portal_url

Invoices

# List invoices
invoices = await client.get_invoices(
    external_id="store_123",
    limit=20,
)

    print(invoice.invoice_pdf)       # URL to PDF
    print(invoice.hosted_invoice_url) # Stripe hosted page

# Create a one-off invoice for a dynamic amount (e.g. a reseller's consolidated
# monthly charge = sum of its stores' plan prices minus discount). Pass a stable
# `reference` so a retried charge for the same period is idempotent.
invoice = await client.create_subscriber_invoice(
    "agency_123",                     # subscriber external id (the agency)
    amount=110.60,                    # major units (euros), not cents
