This tutorial will guide you through updating the price for a customer who pays via a subscription price band in Stripe, specifically when managing subscriptions through Book That In.
These steps are helpful when you need to increase or change the regular amount a customer pays.
Please note: If you are dealing with a standard subscription (not a price band), you do not need to follow these steps. See instructions under 'Can I transfer a customer from one subscription to another?' here.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Log in to Stripe
Visit stripe.com and sign in to your Stripe account.
2. Find the Customer
Use the customer’s email address as the unique identifier.
In the search bar at the top, enter the customer’s email and click Show all results.
Click on the customer profile associated with the relevant subscription.
Alternatively:
Go to your subscriptions list in Stripe.
Select the individual whose subscription price you need to update.
3. Update the Subscription Price
On the right-hand side, click Actions.
Select Update subscription from the drop-down menu.
4. Edit the Pricing
In the update screen, find the Pricing section on the left.
Click Edit next to the current price
Enter the new price you want to charge
Click Confirm to save your changes.
Review the details on the right to confirm the next invoice will show the new amount and invoice date.
5. (Optional) Adjust Billing Timing
If you wish to charge the new price immediately, tick the Reset billing date option.
This will bill the customer the new amount straight away.
If you want to pro rata the charge (charge them the difference immediately), select the Pro rata option.
This will calculate and bill the difference between what they’ve already paid and the new price, effective straight away.
6. Confirm the Change
Refresh the customer’s subscription page.
The updated amount should now show on the next invoice and its date.
7. Repeat as Needed
If you have multiple subscribers on price band subscriptions, repeat these steps for each subscriber individually.
