Subscription Trials
Hi Folks,
I'm working on a subscription site, it involves first creating a free
trial, this I guess is something along the lines of a free product. But
of course I still need to collect payment details so that we can
continue at the end of the trial.
Has anyone done this? What is the best way with the new Subscription
stuff?

David,
Well, that's pretty much what I'm working on, I was just struck with
some angst this morning that perhaps I'd missed something new!
Thanks for the reassurance! :-)

To do this sort of thing you may need to do a custom checkout process
or something... On a lower level what you need to do is create a
Subscription record to represent the initial free trial access, and
then probably a ShoppingList and related records so that an order is
placed for them later to extend the subscription.
There could be other ways of getting to this than just doing a custom
checkout process, but I know of one company that is working on doing
this level stuff with a custom checkout process.
