I think the webhook trigger came from the 0.00 invoice, but why is the subscription still active even when it's not paid?

if it's for $0 it's paid automatically without charging anything, it's for bookkeeping
but yeah, starting a trial will generate a $0 invoice that's immediately paid. Not really relevant to the specific test you're running but can be confusing
here the invoice you're interested in is https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1JhCE8Gqob0NJqQXd0Q2nCvE , which is the actual recurring one at the end of the trial
it follows the pattern of https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#subscription-renewal
Creates an invoice.
Leaves the invoice in a draft state for about an hour.
Attempts to finalize and pay the invoice.
Changes the invoice status to paid if payment succeeds.
you can force the payment now through that dashboard page if desired

Could you help me find where to do that
I checked in the subscription menu and the scheduled invoice

I linked the invoice above, there should be a button there to charge it

it's Charge Customer, the one that's greyed out
it's probably greyed out since they don't have a card, as you mentioned at the start
I think what happens here is the finalisation fails and the invoice stays draft. So you can either add a card to the customer and charge it, or email a link to the payment page where the customer can pay there yep

I can also set a trial period on an active subscription to trigger a recharge right? I should have probably done that
Thank you for clearing up my confusion 😅

yep you can set a trial on an existing subscription, for a few minutes in the future, just to simulate and force an invoice
