No, the subscriptions created with pricing table are not super customizable as the API.
You could listen to the webhook event for subscription creation and then update it manually by calling the API

Could you show me how to update it manyally by calling the API, I am only able to see how to set the billing_cycle_anchor to "now" not set an actual timestamp
since it is already an active subscription
dark sky
ah whoops. sorry I think I misread your question.
Either you set the cycle to now or add a trial, there are only two ways to change the anchor

So I am already offering a 14 day trial.
I dont think the trial option would work because if they signed up on the first of the month they would receive a 30 day trial correct?
dark sky
yeah, once the trial is over the invoice would be generated for the remaining cycle
so if you have 14 days trial, we'd expect the payment for the next 16-17 days of the month (assuming customer subscribed on 1st of the month)
tropic sable
Yes
dark sky
The problem there would be that some months are 30 days vs 31 days vs 28 days (feb)
so it won't really be "end of the month"
tropic sable
I want to offer them a 14 day trial and then have them pay a prorated amount immediently
tropic sable
then going forward have the payment be on the last day of the month. I can calculate the last day thats no issue on my end
dark sky
Gotcha. Yeah the only option I can think of is to update it manually
tropic sable
Thanks. Do you think the dev team could implement an option on the pricing table to set the anchor date when someone subscribes? That would be very helpful

Not sure if they'd implement it anytime soon or not, but filing the request would make sure when they do, you'd hear about it 🙂
