Hi there 👋 hard to say for sure without more context, but I'm assuming you're running into an error message when trying to create the Subscription, and that you likely need to set payment_behavior to default_incomplete when creating the Subscription to avoid that error.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior
Just to make sure we're aligned though, what are you referring to when you mention a "backend admin panel"?

I mean that just administrators can create subscriptions manually and attach them to users without need to configure a payment method
The problem is that I believe I cannot create a subscription this way, however I didn't test it using the API directly (I didn't find the option), just the Stripe dashboard
And if I don't specify something like trial days (to make the subscription "free") it does not allow me to create it
Is there a way to avoid that and force the creation of the subscription?

👋 stepping in here as toby needed to step away
No you can't create a Subscription without a PaymentMethod via the Dashboard unless you use the "Send Invoice" option or use a trial. You can do this via the API though as toby mentioned above.
