Hello 👋
Apologies for the delay here

You can't really charge the subscription before its start date.
The only option I can think of here is that either you take the first payment as a one-off payment OR
1/ You can start a subscription as normal
2/ Collect payment for the first invoice
3/ Introduce a trial until the "future date"

Okay
In the first option, will the payment method be setup for future use (renewals) or will we have to do it manually? Also, if we take the first payment as a one off, how will we be able to mark the first month invoice as paid? 🤔

I like the second option better as we are not manually starting / manipulating the subscription. Which one do you suggest?

You'd have to set the payment method as default manually by calling the API. Also, you'd need to mark the first invoice as paid by calling the API.

If I was building an integration I'd go with Option 2 as it takes the hassle of doing the manual work out of it.

Got it. Thank you so much!
