A subscription item represents a single price on a subscription. Each item links a price to the subscription and tracks its quantity and billing settings. You can add, update, or remove items at any time — proration ensures the customer is charged or credited fairly for changes mid-cycle.
When you add a new item or change an existing item’s quantity mid-billing-cycle, Borga can automatically create proration invoice items. These adjust the customer’s next invoice to account for the partial period already used. Control this behavior with the proration_behavior parameter.
