hi! I would just set trial_end to 09/17/2022 , that's all you really have to do
at the end of the trial a payment is attempted and that's the billing anchor going forward
I tried to set trial_end to 09/17/2022 but in this case we don't come paymentIntend on which all the logic on the project is based.
hmm but yeah, there's not payment now, so no PaymentIntent, so that's normal
unless you actually want them to pay some amount now, and only start the subscription in September?
prime flame
so what happens in-between now and then, do they have access to your product?

The logic on the project is such that a person can choose a product and subscribe to it in the future. At the same time, he can also choose this product as many times as he likes and purchase it without a subscription.
prime flame
ok, but if they're picking a subscription, do they pay now and don't get access until later?
I'm having a hard time understanding how you'd like this to be set up
ultimately though you can use https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#first-invoice-extra
you can charge for some items upfront, while also using a trial period — the subscription will charge for those add_invoice_items immediately but the recurring part won't be charged for until the end of the trial period
astral rose
if he chooses a subscription, then he pays 5 days before the start of the subscription
Is the fee charged immediately?
prime flame
yes, the subscription will charge for those add_invoice_items immediately
astral rose
Yes, I tried this option. But I'm tired of being charged 5 days before the subscription. If the user has selected 09/19/2022 then we charge on 09/14/2022
