Hello
There's no way to charge for a subscription today and start it 3 months later. That's not something Subscriptions API or Checkout Sessions API can support.

Checkout Sessions API can't schedule subscriptions either.

#

The flow you want is ~possible(-ish) but not with Checkout Sessions API.

The way it would work is:

  • You store Card and SEPA DD information using SetupIntents API
  • Then you can charge the card a one-time price for the "first" payment
  • Then you can create a Subscription Schedule that starts the subscription in future. You can update the default_payment_method of the subscription in the first phase.

That way, renewal payments would go through SEPA DD payment method you've stored

That's what we're doing currently but we would like to have the first payment "tied" to the subscription, to have all customers payment in the same place since it's related to one subscription, is there any way to do that ?

That's not really possible with the Stripe APIs today unfortunately.

#

The only other option I can think of is that you start a subscription immediately and once the first invoice has been processed then you add a trial period of 3 months.

During this trial, you may see $0 invoices but you can model that differently in your application

#

We use embedded forms, and if we create a subscription with a trial period it shows that it is a trial, is there any way to remove that and make it like a "normal" subscription ?
Or can a trial period be "added" to an active subscription, to delay the next payment ?
