Hi there!

#

You can create a Subscription that started in the past, but I think the first invoice will be done today.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-backdate_start_date

#

I would recommend doing some tests in test mode to see how this works.

Yes, exactly, he always wants to settle up immediately...

#

However, we do not want to generate the invoice directly... hm... okay, then we'll have to schedule it on our side and create the subscription only when we want to have the invoice generated...

Yes if you want the first invoice in the future, then only create the subscription at that time. Note that you could use Subscription Schedule for this: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
