Reduce price for first billing cycle (Stripe)

Question

Is it possible to reduce first billing cycle price when creating a stripe recurring price?. I read the Stripe Node.js documentation but didn't find any clue to reduce the first billing cycle price. Now I am thinking to attach a coupon when the price is applied to a subscription. Is there any good way to do this?

Answer 1

If you’re looking to charge less for the first billing cycle, the coupon route as you mentioned above makes the most sense. When creating the coupon, you’d want to add duration:once so it’s only applicable for one time usage.
