sure, you could just call the Subscriptions API directly from your backend

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create with appropriate parameters like trial_end

Thanks I will look into that. But seems like I will be forced to pick a price_id regardless of the customer choice. Because what I want is to start a trial, regardless of the price (on a specific product) and to not start the actual paid subscription no matter what (until they explicitly start paying for it)

#

Like it shouldn't be something I choose to default with a monthly plan instead of yearly. price_id force that choice

yes, you need to pass the ID of the thing that the customer is getting a trial for

#

maybe instead represent the trial as something in your own database that is just for providing access to your product, and only start the subscription on Stripe later when the details are known

I see. Thanks for the clear answer 👍 . Really appreciate it. Have a nice day.
