👋 happy to help
so basically it's the difference between https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-trial_end and https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-start_date

Hey, thanks for helping out! The subscription object start date would then be the trial start, is that correct?
How would the calculation account for multiple trial periods e.g., 7 days trial -> subscription ends and there is no subscription for, say 2 weeks -> another custom trial period of 3 days -> after the 3 days start of a regular subscription

I'm not sure I understand

A customer might have multiple different trials
First trial 7 days. Then no subscription for a month. Afterwards another 3 days of trial.
Total trial days for that customer would therefore be 10 days.
Is there a way we can get that information from stripe?
crisp light
you would have to list all subscriptions for a customer
and then for each you would calculate based on the difference between trial_end and start_date
mortal horizon
Okay and that would consider multiple different trial durations and add them all up?
crisp light
if they are on different subscriptions then yes

Is there a way to implement such calculation as a custom attribute (column) in the customers tab (https://dashboard.stripe.com/customers)
crisp light
oh maybe it's best to use https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-trial_start instead of start_date

unfortunately you can't customize the Stripe Dashboard
with your own columns
