Hi 👋
Have you considered using Subscription Schedules?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules
This would allow you to specify the first month as free by creating your first phase with the trail property set to "true". You would use the same Price ID in the trail phase so it would have the same billing period.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-phases-trial
You just specify iterations: 1 for the first phase and make a second phase this essentially the same but without the trail parameter.

This sounds promising

Subscription Schedules are another layer of complexity on top of Subscriptions so it can be easy to get into trouble. BUT, if you review the docs carefully and focus on your exact use case, they do allow for a higher degree of customization.
I strongly recommend building end-to-end testing scenarios so you can validate the behavior is what you expect.

ok this is my pseudo code, I'll try it out

items_parameter = items.reject { |item| item[:deleted] }.map do |item|
{
plan: item[:plan],
quantity: ZpStripe::ConversionUtils.get_stripe_quantity(
quantity: item[:quantity],
product: PM.plan_with_id(item[:plan]).product
),
metadata: item[:metadata] || {}
}
end
Stripe::SubscriptionSchedule.create({
customer: stripe_customer_id,
phases: [{
trial: true,
iterations: 1,
items: items_parameter
}, {
items: items_parameter
}]
}.merge(sub_options_temp))
Have you run it? What happens?

You mean a trial Subscription? You can paste the Subscription Id to your Stripe Dashboard search and inspect its Invoice
