Hi,

We give users a free trial.
But our users are incentive to WAIT until the last day of their free trial to subscribe.
We want to set their first bill date to the end of their trial period so that they are not "losing" any of their free trial.

Any suggestions?

   Hi Clay. The customers/new API call includes a subscription[initialBillDate] option. You may override the default (pricing plan configuration) by specifying this option. Similarly, when editing a existing customer's subscription, you may change the date on the pending invoice using the customers/edit-subscription API call and specifying the subscription[changeBillDate] option.
