Hello 👋
It depends on the payment_behavior you set when you create a subscription
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior

Let me know if you have any follow up questions @modern moth

give me moment

i'm using this as payment_behavior = "default_incomplete"

[snow cliff]

Use default_incomplete to create Subscriptions with status=incomplete when the first invoice requires payment, otherwise start as active. Subscriptions transition to status=active when successfully confirming the payment intent on the first invoice. This allows simpler management of scenarios where additional user actions are needed to pay a subscription’s invoice. Such as failed payments, SCA regulation, or collecting a mandate for a bank debit payment method. If the payment intent is not confirmed within 23 hours subscriptions transition to status=incomplete_expired, which is a terminal state.

The only catch here is if you have a trial period, in which case the first invoice doesn't require a payment

I'm not providing any trial period

Cool then it should behave as above (also mentioned in the docs)

gotcha, thank you @snow cliff
