hi! can you clarify what you mean by "migrate" exactly?

#

I have subscriptions in paddle that I am migrating to stripe

#

I want to use stripe billing instead of paddle so I'm moving the subscriptions over

#

Using the API

#

hmm ok, not really familiar with any of that. And was there a specific error message or problem you were running into?

#

I tried creating a subscription with the API but it's saying I need to provide a default payment method

#

yep. So normally what you would do is create the Subscripion with a trial period that lasts until whenever the next billing date of the subscription on the other provider was going to be

#

there are some general docs at https://stripe.com/docs/payments/account/data-migrations/pan-import#work-with-subscriptions

#

Oh I see. Ok I'll have a look at that. Thanks!

#

Sorry so, what parameters do I need when creating the subscription? Do I still need billing_cycle_anchor?

I believe you can use trial_end instead , set to the same value(the date that you want the trial to end and attempt billing, so basically it's the same concept)
