Hello! Adding a trial period is the most common way to do this.

That is working but we use the subscription status in other parts of our code so I was wondering if there was another way

Can you explain more about the issue you're running into?

#

We only display certain elements if subscription status is active, when I put trial days on there the charge is delayed as expected but because the way we have our code, running into issues

#

So your code is looking at the status property on Subscriptions and expecting it to be active?

smoky spire Sep 29, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

Certain parts are, yes

#

I was wondering if there was another way besides trials

#

I recommend modifying that code to check for status of either active or trialing to account for Subscription trials.

#

There is no easy way to defer payment on a Subscription in a way that would make the Subscription's status be active all the time. The only way I can think to do it would be to start a Subscription with a $0 Price, then update it to use a paid Price later on, but I wouldn't recommend that approach.
