Hi Iane, so basically you want your customer to pay once and enjoy the service forever?

#

exactly

#

I have several options though, monthly, yearly and lifetime

#

Trying to add lifetime @upper fractal

#

And on that note, for consistency, it would be really nice if I could do the 7-day free trial for the lifetime plan as well... just like my monthly and yearly subs do

Hi Iane, thanks for your waiting, let me have a discussion with my teammates and will get back to you soon.

Hi Iane, here is a solution that can help you to achieve lifetime subscription for your customers

Create a yearly subscription with 7-day trial period as per normal
Create a 100% OFF coupon specific to this subscription
Let your customer subscribe to this subscription, and upon receiving the invoice.paid event, update the subscription with the 100% OFF coupon so that your customers will not be charged in the subsequent renewals.

I don't like that solution at all, especially because the checkout page will display as a yearly sub

@fair pawn we don't really have a great solution for this unfortunately, the alternative at this point would be to implement your own logic to create a PaymentIntent and manage the 7-day trial yourself i.e. not use Stripe billing for lifetime subscriptions basically

Got it. Consider this my formal feature request for a "lifetime" interval in the normal subscriptions API

#

On that note, is there a way to create a checkout session for a payment intent that doesn't charge for 7 days?
