Hi there!
Yes that's possible.
This is covered here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements

Okay thanks! I have a usage-based subscription (billed in arrears), and the Stripe checkout UI shows 0.00€ due today, and shows the flat fee only when expanding the description in a muted font color, which seems quite misleading. Is there a way to pronounce the flat fee on the checkout page?
This is the reason why I am considering elements instead, but will it be shown there in the same way?

Can you share a Checkout Session URL or a screenshot so I can see the issue?
oak scaffold
Yes just a moment
You have to click "See details" on the left to show actual fees
Is there a way to change that?
quaint lava
Sorry for the delay, having a look.
Can you share a subscription ID (sub_xxx) that was created this way?

The description is correct: "$0 due today, then billed monthly based on usage", but I agree it's a bit blurry.
And no, I don't see a way to change this on the Checkout Session page.

Will it be like this in the elements component as well?

The Payment Element doesn't display any amount/price. It only collects payment information.

But this one has a screenshot with information about the price

Not sure why we show this in the doc. But that's not part of the Payment Element, that's something you could build yourslef.

Hm okay. So will I use the payment element with a payment intent for subscriptions as well?

Sure, the guide here outlines the flow: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
You wouldn't create a Payment Intent directly. The Subscription you create will generate that automatically if required
