so you mean, for example, create the subscription today , no payment for 30 days until March, then a payment of $50, and then from April onwards, $100 a month, for instance?
visual drum
yes!

there's a few ways but the easiest is likely to use a trial period normally (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/trials) and also add a coupon to the subscription that applies once(in my example, a 50% coupon for instance)
you might need 2 usages on the coupon(not sure how this works with trials and would have to test), but overall that's the easiest way
if you need something more complex than a simple discount, the SubscriptionScheduleAPI will let you customise everything precisely (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules)

oh that is exactly what I was looking for!!
thanks mate 🙂 !!
right now I am developing a checkout form
and the customer can choose if he wants to one time pay or x months settlements
how is the best way to implement this on a one page checkout
do you know what I mean?

Hi Andreas. Gathering some resources for you
You will have to have an option on your webpage, where the user will select either the one-time payment option or the subscription option. Based on that selection, you will pass either payment or subscription in when creating the checkout session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-mode. You would also pass in the separate price object for either the subscription or one-time-payment: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price
Apologies, do you mean you are using Stripe Checkout or your own, custom Checkout page made with Elements?
visual drum
stripe checkout with custom accounts
and my own custom checkout page
we are using custom checkout pages, using express connect accounts

So if you are using stripe checkout sessions, then my above recommendation works
