Hi there, yes you can set up a trialing when creating a subscription.

https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials

Using trial periods on subscriptions

Delay payments on active subscriptions using trial periods.

So we have a free trial setup but the user is FORCED to put in a credit card to get a free trial.

I want users to try it without adding a credit card but later get notifications to sign up if they like the service

Sure, you can read the doc that I sent earlier. If the first invoice doesn't require payment (i.e., within the trial periods), you don't need to collect a payment_method from your customer

Ok so what parameter do i have to put to get that?

Do i need to create a new product? I'm not seeing it in the docs.

#

This is what I'm currently using:

You are using billing portals API, this is for your customer to manage existing subscription.

#

If you want to create trial subscription without asking the customer to provide payment details, you can just use Subscriptions API, as explained in the doc.

#

About the product/price, you can use an existing one, or create a new one if needed.
