Need help with determining if Square will work for a temporary need.

Hi everyone,

I'm probably not in the right area, but I'm trying to determine if any of the Square features/functionality would work for a temporary solution I'll be needing sometime in the near future.

Here's my anticipated flow of events... Customers will evaluate a product for 3 months free. Once the 3 month evaluation is complete, they will have the option to purchase the product.

If they want to purchase the product, I'd like to provide something like an account they can log into and purchase/pause/cancel the product on a 1, 3, 6, or 12 month subscription. Not sure if a payment link would work, but it was a thought I had as well.

I want to acquire these evaluations before going live with the main website. This need would allow those that want to continue taking the product with the ability to purchase and manage their subscription (if possible).

Not sure what the best way is to achieve this and if Square would work for this scenario.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks!

@joshy I would go to this web page and start there. Not sure if it will fully work, or will work well enough. https://squareup.com/us/en/subscriptions
