Hello
I'm not sure I follow your question.
You should be able to use a limited duration coupon code (which is tied to a specific product) for this no?

or using a promo code: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons?dashboard-or-api=api#promo-code-subscriptions

that's limited to a customer

[cold mirage]

Hi @strange rampart. Thanks for responding. When we use a coupon/promo code the $amount comes doen to zero, but the customer is still required to provide credit card information. We are trying to find a way to not require credit card information when the payment amount is Zero for the subscription.

^This is the experience we get currently with a coupon for a 1-year free trial. We're trying to figure out if there's a way to enforce that the customer doesn't have to add credit card information in this case

Are you setting payment_method_collection parameter when you create the checkout session? If not, you should set it to if_required

@strange rampart Thank you! @fresh trench could you please look into that and see if that does the trick?

Thank you @strange rampart. We'll try this and report back.
