@alessandrobelli Spark is just a customer portal. It’s to allow a customer to manage their billing details and existing subscriptions. It’s not for creating new subscriptions; that’s what Cashier is for.

Laravel Spark—missing basic features?
Hello! I purchased Laravel spark to quickly add monetization to our web app, but apparently it lacks some features we need. I wonder if I'm missing something, or you can help me with that.

Currently, Spark allow only to change your subscription, not adding new ones. Why is that? This was address already 2 years ago on Laravel Cashier https://github.com/laravel/cashier-stripe/issues/922

Then I tried to create products on Stripe with “Subscription 1+Subscription 2” but there's a problem: if someone subscribes to Subscription 1 then shift to something more expensive, it doesn't charge more, it changes the next billing period cost. I wish we could easily change that behaviour.
Should I just get the money back and do it in Cashier, or am I missing something?

@martinbean you can create new subscriptions on Spark, but you cannot manage the existing ones, since if you select a more expensive subscription, you don't get charged the difference.

@alessandrobelli Then it sounds like you’re not prorating subscription price updates.
