Checked this now, thanks!
What's the difference if I add billing_cycle_anchor or trial_end?

#

mainly the creation of a $0 invoice or not

Will it have difference between billing_cycle_anchor and trial_end if I need to create a subscription with start at 20/11 each year and user will buy it later? For example, on 30/12 (so it will have no trial and start of the subscription will be in the past).

I don't quite understand the question unfortuantely, could you rephrase it or give me a concrete example?

If I need to create a subscription that starts and ends only on November 20th each year, and a user purchases it later, for example, on December 30th (so there is no trial period, and the subscription begins in the past), will there be any difference between using billing_cycle_anchor and trial_end in this scenario?
Is it more clear?

#

as I said the main difference is that a trial creates a $0 invoice at the start, while billing_cycle_anchor does not
