OllieAyre - trial

Hello. One moment

No that isn't exactly possible

However, you could create a checkout session in setup mode to collect payment details (but not charge them)

Then you could charge the card later while the customer is off-session (at the end of their trial)

You would have to keep track of the timeline there in your own code though

Ah ok thank you, is there any time limit on how long we could hold those details before taking the payment? I'm assuming not because what you've suggested there isn't the same as a pre-approval or is it?

[amber dune]

Nah no time limit. It's simply collecting the card details so you can charge the card later

Even though we do validation, it's still possible for charging the card to fail later on though

But that's the same situations as a free trial with a subscription. Success isn't guaranteed, so you have to be prepared for that in your code

Awesome, thanks for your help 👍

No problem!
