hello! I don't know off the top of my head, but you can try and see if it works

There is only a footer field in the document. I tried it and it worked. I didn't see a description field, so I couldn't pass a value.

I'm afraid there's no workaround for this right now if you're using Checkout Sessions then, like what my colleague said previously

If I create a subscription using other plans instead of Checkout Sessions, can I customize the contents of the bill?
young gorge
somewhat, yes, but it's a "hack" / workaround, and I'm not entirely certain if you'll like how it works. To explain a bit more, essentially the workaround is to create a first invoice that only finalizes one hour later. In this way, you can edit the first invoice. There are two ways to go about this :
- Create your subscription with trial_end set a couple of seconds into the future. The subscription will first generate a $0 invoice, and once the trial is over a non-zero invoice will be created with a one hour draft period. The initial status of this subscription will be trialing and will transition to either active or past_due depending on the payment outcome.
- Create the subscription through a subscription schedule. When the schedule starts, the subscription’s initial status will be active with an initial draft invoice that is scheduled to finalize in an hour. Depending on whether payment of the initial invoice is successful or not, the subscription will either stay active or transition to past_due.
So there are problems with the above two workarounds, both of which will create a subscription that starts off with active

It sounds like implementing this using a short trial period is a good option. Is there any corresponding documentation available?
Additionally, I’d like to ask whether setting a short trial period is effective when creating subscriptions via Checkout Sessions.
young gorge
we don't have any corresponding documentation other than what i described. iirc, Checkout Sessions has a minimum trial period and you can't set it a few seconds in the future.

It seems that there are no fields related to delayed payment in this documentation.
young gorge
i'm not sure i understand what you mean by delayed payment?
are you talking about setting a trial for the subscription when creating Checkout Sessions?
barren lynx
yes
