So I've managed to subscribe to customer and captured the subscription idea and of course the payment

00:06.880 --> 00:12.420
method idea, and now I need to implement some functionality that will allow me to cancel a subscription.

00:13.120 --> 00:17.320
And if you look at the strike documentation and I'll put a link to this in the course resources for

00:17.320 --> 00:22.270
this lecture, it's pretty straightforward and it's about the same amount of code as it is to refund

00:22.270 --> 00:22.940
a charge.

00:23.890 --> 00:29.920
Now, up here, it says by default, subscriptions and billing continue until cancellation as configured

00:29.920 --> 00:32.020
in your subscription life cycle settings.

00:32.020 --> 00:37.840
And you can go read that a subscription may cancel automatically after up to four unsuccessful attempts

00:37.840 --> 00:38.650
to build a customer.

00:38.680 --> 00:39.460
Well, that's perfect.

00:39.490 --> 00:41.140
That's exactly what I want.

00:41.470 --> 00:44.500
And here is the sample code for how to cancel the subscription.

00:44.530 --> 00:48.800
So let's go back to our editor to Visual Studio Code and open up cards.

00:48.800 --> 00:49.600
Don't go.

00:50.140 --> 00:53.320
And I'll create another method or another function right here.

00:54.250 --> 01:05.110
Func C pointer to card and I'll call this one cancel subscription and it will take a sub ID subscription,

01:05.620 --> 01:06.430
which is a string.

01:06.910 --> 01:12.940
And that's the thing we just added to the database when we insert a transaction and it potentially returns

01:12.940 --> 01:13.360
an error.

01:15.160 --> 01:21.130
And of course I need to do the same thing I do here, Strachey, so I'll just copy that to set our secret

01:21.130 --> 01:21.580
key.

01:21.610 --> 01:22.770
Otherwise, nothing will work.

01:24.760 --> 01:28.750
And now I need to create some parameters which I'll just call her arms.

01:28.930 --> 01:36.190
And that's equal to a reference to Stripe Dot subscription Prem's.

01:38.080 --> 01:48.250
And all I need to put in there is cancel at period end and set that to strike rule.

01:51.370 --> 01:51.720
True.

01:53.590 --> 01:59.950
So the only parameter I'm sending is this person wants to cancel his or her subscription, so don't

01:59.950 --> 02:03.070
renew it, cancel it as soon as their current period ends.

02:03.070 --> 02:04.750
So they're paying me twenty dollars a month.

02:05.080 --> 02:09.250
If the period ends in two weeks, in two weeks their subscription will be cancelled.

02:09.420 --> 02:11.470
OK, so that's pretty simple.

02:11.710 --> 02:16.870
And now I just cancel the subscription, so I'll ignore the first return parameter, but I will check

02:16.870 --> 02:21.430
for an error and I'll call sub dot update.

02:23.450 --> 02:25.020
And hopefully that imported the right version.

02:25.040 --> 02:30.320
I'll check in a moment and I hand it the subscription ID, which I received as a parameter to this function

02:30.740 --> 02:32.270
and the presence that we just created.

02:32.390 --> 02:35.420
And I'll check for an error if error is not equal to nil.

02:39.810 --> 02:45.510
Return the girl, otherwise return them.

02:49.000 --> 02:57.720
OK, so there is any function available to us from our current package and we can use that in a handler

02:57.720 --> 02:59.430
to actually cancel a subscription.

02:59.460 --> 03:01.800
And we'll get started on that in the next lecture.
