👋 happy to help

you can use the billing_cycle_anchor on the subscription_data https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-billing_cycle_anchor

Thank you!

Btw, are there any options to charge customers imidiately, but subscription will start later?

[craggy marsh]

not with the Checkout Session

[wide harbor]

Can you give some tips how I can do that?

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#start-subscription-future

but this won't make the customer pay now

[wide harbor]

but are there options to pay now but start subscription later?

[craggy marsh]

you'd have to manually create a flow, where you let the customer pay a normal one-off payment (this could be using Checkout or any other flow) and then you can add to the customer's credit balance the amount that was paid https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/customer/balance and then you would use the subscription schedule to start the subscription in the future

Okay, thank you for the advice
