How can I offer a free trial with Square Subscriptions in 2024

I don't see "Free Trial" as an option when creating a subscription plan. Is that option no longer available? It is listed as one of the features of Square Subscriptions.

Hello @cm85,

I see this is your first post, Welcome to Square! 👋😄

After subscribing to a plan with a free trial, it will begin immediately, and you will not be charged for the subscription until the free trial has expired. Have you gotten an email saying a trial is ending? It will be sent 72 hours before the trial ends.

Did you ever get an answer for this question or figure it out? I don't believe the other response answers your question. I am trying to create a free monthly subscription trial and have not succeeded. The documentation appears to be lacking on how to make the free trial for the first month of a monthly subscription.

Can we offer multiple free trial lengths (1 year, 6 months, 3 months)?
