Hi there, yes you can create a subscription with a $0 price initially, have you tried it out?
For 2 and 3, you can disable proration when updating the subscription https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations#disable-prorations

No, I don't know how to create it.
For 2 and 3，According to what you said, this only affects prorated payments and will not impact renewal charges, right?
vagrant bison
Yes you are right.
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted you can follow this guide to build a subscriptoin integration,

For the first issue, the functionality we want is that a user's subscription contains two products (one for $20 and one for $30). When creating the subscription, we want one of the products to be priced at $0, meaning the user only pays $20 at the time of subscription creation. However, upon renewal, the system should automatically charge the full amount of $20 + $30 = $50.

What do you mean? Does this refer to the first issue, or the second and third issues?
This can solve the second and third issues. How can we solve the first issue?
vagrant bison
I see, you can use subscriptoin schedule to automate the change (i.e., change the $0 subscription item to $30)
real pivot
Is there a method within the subscription itself to achieve this functionality?
Because we are currently using subscriptions rather than subscription schedules, switching to subscription schedules would require significant changes on our end.
Can we achieve our desired effect by using coupons?
vagrant bison
Yes you can also create a $20 coupon with duration set to once to give discount for the first invoice
real pivot
Okay, I'll test it.
For the second and third issues, I have another question: When modifying a subscription, if I remove a $20 product and add a $30 product at the same time, we do not want to issue a refund for the $20 product, but we do want the user to pay for the $30 product. Is there a feature that supports this?
vagrant bison
If you turn off prorations, your customer will pay the new price in full (i.e., $30) in the next invoice. Is this something that you want to achieve?
