Unfortunately this is something we do not support by defaylt

#

One workaround is to use SubscriptionSchedules https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules
Create a Subscription for the year, charge upfront and add a second phase that does 30 days for free before switching back to the yearly Price if that makes sense

I tried the subscription schedules before on the Stripe website, but once I advanced in time, it opened the subscription editor panel, and didn't made the update by itself. If I use the API, do I need to open the dashboard to confirm, or something? Or it should be completely handsfree?

#

Also, does it send any e-mail to the customer or something?

#

you only need the API/code, the Dashboard is irrelevant in this case.

#

and yes an email would be sent to the Customer for their successful payment for the year but it wouldn't mention the extra 30 days

So, if my annual plan ends March 31, and trial starts Apr 1, the e-mail with the successful payment will only be sent on Apr 30, after trial ends and really starts billing again, right?
