Is this registration flow possible?

A couple of queries..

1) I want to be able to register the customer for a paid plan that has a 30 day trial, but I don't want the user to have to set up Paypal until their trial has ended. Is it possible to check chedder for how many days they have left of their trial, if their trial has ended but they haven't set up a payment method yet then force them to do that?

2) I understand a hosted set up will redirect the customer to paypal to confirm. How will this work using the API? I see there is a "Create a Customer with PayPal Standard" method but does the customer not need to confirm by logging into paypal?

Can anyone let me know what their preferred method for registering customers is whilst providing a trial?

    No problem. I suggest that you use the API for this. It's as simple as calling one API method with your customer's unique id, name, email, and the plan code. Set the plan to bill 30 days after signup and set your account to not require payment on signup.

    You can also use the API to determine when that trial period ends.
