Which statement best reflects subscription behavior in the provided example?

• A. Automatic collection of unpaid invoices is disabled
• B. Automatic collection continues
• C. Invoices are refunded automatically
• D. Subscriptions cannot be reactivated

Answer: (A)

This question tests how Stripe handles subscription payment collection methods. In Stripe, a subscription can be set to collect payments automatically or to require invoices that the customer pays manually. When the collection method is set to charge automatically, Stripe will automatically attempt to pay due invoices using the customer’s saved payment method. When it’s set to send invoices, Stripe does not automatically collect payments; instead, it creates and emails an invoice link that the customer must pay themselves. The provided example describes a scenario where automatic collection of unpaid invoices is disabled, which matches the send_invoice behavior. That’s why the statement about automatic collection being disabled best reflects the subscription behavior. The other options would only apply if the subscription were configured to collect automatically (automatic collection would continue) or describe actions not inherent to this collection method (automatic refunds) or unrelated aspects of subscription status (reactivation).
