Hi, let me help you with this.
You should set cancel_at_period_end=true, and update it to false once the customer explicitly opts-in: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-cancel_at_period_end

@empty ridge But as far as I understand that's only works when the payment method is "missing". Once the payment method is added in the customer portal, this configuration won't be applicable anymore and the subscription will be automatically created when a trial is over. Or is it not the case?
empty ridge
The parameter I shared is different. It's not directly related to trial settings, please see the link I shared above.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Thank you! Can setting cancel_at_period_end= true be defined when creating a Stripe checkout session and updating it to = false using Customer Portal? I don't see this property there
Or in other words, how would you recommend handling it if we want to use Stripe checkout for new subscriptions and creating a customer portal session for subscription updates?
empty ridge
Sadly, subscription_data doesn't provide an equivalent field when creating the Checkout Session: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data
You will need to listed to customer.subscription.created webhook Event and send a request update the Subscription with cancel_at_period_end=true
The subscription_cancel feature of the Billing Portal can allow the customers to control the cancel_at_period_end parameter themselves: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations/create#create_portal_configuration-features-subscription_cancel
