Hi there, sorry for the delay. Was working on a few other questions.

yeep, no problem

It's possible to create a subscription with a trial period or a $0 price, but you'd need to send either a trial end date or use subscription schedules to schedule the customer's first non-zero invoice

Thnak you, i'm going through this, let me get back if have any doubts

#

what happens when subscription is created through subscriptionSchedules create API, can I still collect the payment for that subscription ?

#

Yes, you can. This section goes over creating a subscription schedule for a subscription that starts immediately: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#managing

#

but in my case I'll not start now. i'll start sometime in future. but how about payment should it be collected while creating subscription or payment can be collected when subscription actually starts ?

#

It depends how you decide to structure this. If you create a schedule and use the start_date of now, a subscription will be created at the same time. that first phase can be a trial, and you can schedule the trial end date as needed: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules#using-trials

#

since the subscription will be created at the same time, you can finalize that first invoice and collect payment details now
