Hello 👋
No, there's no way to accept the payment and not start the subscription.

An alternative would be to accept a one-off payment for let's say the amount for the first month & then add a trial for that length when you create the subscription. That way the customer would receive services for the money that already paid for without being charged more.

but that payment would not be linked to subscription right in this scenario right?

[granite acorn]

Correct, it won't be linked. It's just a one-off payment (outside the subscription)

[crude nymph]

thanks for confirmation

[granite acorn]

NP!

[crude nymph]

one more thing

is there any way we can communicate what plan (like basic, premium) in this one off payment with which we will start a subscription later

[granite acorn]

You can add it to the PaymentIntent metadata

When you say communicate, do you mean with the end-customer?

[crude nymph]

no to our server only

[granite acorn]

Gotcha. In that case, yeah you can use metadata

[crude nymph]

nicee
that works

[granite acorn]

Awesome, glad I could help 🙂
