Hi,
Yes you need to use Subscription Schedule for that.
First of all, you may need to refer to this guide for building Subscription Integration:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
Then you update the Subscription Creation call with the Subscritpion Schedule creation call:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

Should this be relatively simple?

#

Give it a try, and don't hesitate to come back if you have any follow up question 🙂

Okay, I am by no means a coder. I don't know if there is a service I can use for someone to set this up for me? But...I am struggling even downloading homebrew into my terminal 🥲

#

Ah yes, you need to have a developer for this.

How can I find a developer to assist with this?

Between, using Dashboard, you can create a Subscription with just 3 cycles

#

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers/cus_123?create=subscription
for example, replace cus_123 with one of your customer,

#

refer to section Subscription schedule > Start and end date

Yes - this was what I referenced in my first message "I can see this is possible to create if I am connecting a customer to the invoice (via quick create) but I can't see that this is "easy" to set up as a payment/checkout link. "

Is it possible to do above without adding a customer and instead sending a payment link?

Hi there 👋 I'm jumping in as my teammate needs to step away. No Payment Links do not offer that level of control over the Subscriptions that they create.

#

Would I be able to use other automations to aid this ? Ie. Have an Opt In page, use a zap to create a customer and apply subscription when opt in is activated and redirect the opt in page to the stripe customer portal?

#

Or even have them fill out a first payment on stripe and then apply a subscription to them with a zap

#

#

I'm not sure what a Zap is, so I'm not sure what they are capable of doing.

Zapier

Sorry, that doesn't tell me much more. If that solution is able to make requests to API endpoints, then it is likely able to interact with our API and might be usable for building an integration.

Subscriptions with a fixed length are a bit of an advanced topic in Stripe. They require the use of a Subscription Schedule object as well to control the future changes for the Subscription.
