hi all, just one more question on the subscription API.
In my current setup, users will folow this process to start a subscription:

  1. Users make a "first" payment with the monthly subscription price
  2. If payment is successfull, a subscription will be created using the mandate ID from the first payment
  3. If the subscription is active on Mollie, we will activate the users subscription on our side as well.

This works great, but I have one question: If the user pays the subscription price on the first payment, will the Subscription API count this as the first montly payment?

Or will there be a new SEPA direct Debit payment with the same amount directly after the subscription has been created? (which would mean a user pays the first month double)

#

If the payment for the first month is double, can this be solved by setting the startdate of the subscription in mollie one month later? Or are there more ways to prevent this?

(I know I can also do the first payment with just one cent, but we really want the first payment to be the subscription price)
