Hey there, with a normal subscription creation you can include items for one time payments on the first invoice at creation, or add to future invoices later

#

For the schedules you're using, are these to start subscriptions in the future?

#

Or are you only referring to schedules as a possible way to achieve this result?

#

I use the schedule to start the monthly payments from the first of the next month.

#

The deposit shall be charged immediately.

#

Hmm I don't think you need a schedule to achieve this

#

How could you do that with a simple subscription?

#

You can use add_invoice_items to put one-time payment items (like you deposit) on the first invoice

Stripe API reference – Create a subscription – curl

#

If the subscription payment part isn't meant to happen the first month, you can combine this with eg a trial period

#

Using either trial_period_days or trial_end
