We have a beta API for that, you could write to Support ask for Prebilling and they may let you in the program 🙂
Otherwise you would want to implement it by yourself by constantly giving your customer a 100% discount for each invoice until 7th months, and additionally charge them for 7 months on the start

Ok I can ask for that - thank you! Do you know if Prebilling would be available through the Stripe Dashboard as well?

#

I don't follow the 100% discount - we would want to charge them up front for 7 months today

Re: Prebilling I don't know TBH, and can't discuss here as a public forum
Re discount: Yes you can charge them for a normal 1 month, then create a additional one-time payment for 6 months (with explanation to them), then apply discounts for next 6 months

Oh I see. So i'd create a subscription for 1 month at the normal charge, charge the difference for 6 more months as a one-time charge, and also give a 100% discount for those 6 months in the subscription

#

seems a little user un-friendly but will reach our re: prebilling to see if that can be an option

#

thank you!

Just a note, instead of creating a separated one-time charge, you could also bundle it into the first 1st Subscription for a more nature flow: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#first-invoice-extra
