Yes, but you can also charge 1 pound separately then creating the trial Sub for your customer

#

like creating an one-off Invoice

#

Humm.. But them how the dynamics would work? Because as I understood, the Stripe will collect the payment for the trial, if I implement this mechanism the user would need to provide twice the payment details right?

#

Because what are u suggesting is to create two different products, one is the subscription other is the one pound charge. Then we would endup having two invoices and two payment secrets, so the user would have to confirm the payment for each invoice right?

#

When you ask the customer to provide payment details for the trial Sub, I think you can reuse the payment details there for an one off Invoice

#

It basically will give you a Payment Method Id pm_xxx which you can attach to the customer and charge them any custom amount

#

I think I am lost here.

So.. first the user pay for the trial with the payment secret created for the subscriptoin and only then we charge the user the 1 pound ?

#

What is this one off invoice? we would be adding subscription and the 1 pound in just one invoice ?

#

I want to charge the 1 pound before the trials ends. The user can only use the trial after 1 pound payment

#

Ok how about collecting payment details first via an 1 pound PaymentIntent? Then after you have it confirmed, take the payment method id pm_xxx and create the trial Sub under the hood?

hollow marten
#

I think my confusion is about the payment method id, that I am not familiar with.

So, I can use the payment method id to pay for a subscriptoin?

#

with the user consent ?

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

hollow marten
#

Thanks Tarzan

small perch
#

If your trial period is paid then you shouldn't be using the "trialing" concept in Stripe Subscriptions

hollow marten
#

That is what I thought

small perch
#

or you can use the add_invoice_items that my colleague suggested above

#

which is a one-time fee added to the first invoice

#

but the Invoice would look really off

#

that's why I don't really recommend this method

#

with the first phase being the "trial" phase but the phase would be paid

hollow marten
#

Intersting... now we have another situation. Can I use the Subscriptoin schedules to change the "billing cicling period"

Like that. ..our membership price is an annual billing.

But we want to provide a "trial" for 1 pound for 3 months.

#

Can U use the Subscrition schedule in this context ?

small perch
#

yes each phase can have a billing cycle period different than the other

#

you can also have a trial for 3 months for 1 pound a month

#

basically what that means is that the first phase consists of a monthly price $1 for 3 iterations

#

I know this might not be what you're looking for

#

but I'm just trying to show you the possibilities with the Subscription Schedules

hollow marten
#

I don't mind making changes in the implementation details

#

But I thought that I had to set the billing cicle on the subscription creation

#

Are u sayign that Subscription schedules works on a different cicle than the subscription ?

small perch
#

Subscription Schedules can have different phases with each phases having a different billing cycle

hollow marten
#

Hummm.. okay.. so I can have a phase for logical operations and a phase for billing purpose ?

#

Okay.. I need to read more about it

small perch
#

yes please do and let me know if you need any more help
