I am building a payment system where a customer can join the system using some upfront charge let's say 10$. That amount would be for let says 3 months. And after that, I want to charge them monthly for their extended duration. I am using Laravel Cashier.
So should I first charge the customer using the normal payment charge, and then add a trial subscription of let says 3 months and after that charge customer based on the date? Or is there any other approach?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I'm not really familiar with Laravel Cashier, but usually what you can do is create a subscription with a 3 months trial period and use the add_invoice_items[0] to add the upfront one-off charge.
