Hi there!

What do you mean by "but start to charge customer as per set date"? Do you want to start the subscription right now, but that the first payment happens at a later date?

yes

In this case you should add a free trial to your subscription, with trial_end or trial_period_days
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_end https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_period_days

Here you get 0.41 in the first invoice because it's the prorated price for the beginning of the subscription between DEC 9 - DEC 10.

but,..i don't want to provide trial_days

You said you want to start the subscription now but without making a payment right away. So that's exactly what trials are for.

Yes: use a short free trial.

yes,..but i don't want customer to know, that it will on trial period
on those days
is it possible ?

It looks like you are creating subscription with the subscription endpoint directly. So I don't think it will be shown to customer that they are on a free trial. I would recommend to do some tests to double check this.
