One way I can think of is to have two price items (1) initial trial payment (2) monthly price

When you create a checkout session, you'd add those two prices into line_items, then set subscription_data[trial_end] to the actual start day of the subscription

#

It's simpler than your approach with one single integration

Hmm, that way during the checkout wont be displayed anything about "trial"?

#

I would like to avoid the checkout like this

#

Ah I see! It'll be something like this

Those 4 days wont be free tho 🙂 User will pay for them in advance

#

If you don't wish to have trial or free words in the page, then I think option (2) is recommended

Also curious since I am migrating from PayPal, the approach there was to create a single product and dynamically change the price for subscriptions / initial payments. I assumed the Stripe approach is to create a price literally for everything since you dont pass in amounts but price_id's?

It's possible to create ad-hoc price when creating the subscription using price_data parameter instead of creating a price upfront: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data

Hmm that sounds great! I understand the subscription should have its fixed price, but I thought it might be too much when creating new prices (under the same product) for one time fees

#

I will try those suggestions and get in touch soon 🙂 Thanks a lot!
