Hi,
Do you have any updates about it?
I have the same case. We need to create a subscription plan for xx months trial period and then the billing period will start.
Topic summary
Ability to offer a 1‑month free trial that transitions into annual billing for a subscription selling plan. The asker currently uses a workaround for monthly subscriptions with a 1‑month free trial and wants the same behavior but billed yearly after the trial.
Platform status: A staff response confirms this configuration is not currently supported. It’s being explored, but there are no plans, timeline, or workaround provided for annual billing after a trial period.
Latest update: Another participant requested a status update and described a need for a plan with an extended (multiple‑month) trial before billing begins, indicating continued demand.
Outcome: No decision, feature, or ETA announced. The request is acknowledged but unimplemented. The discussion remains open and unresolved, with key question unanswered: when or whether Shopify will support trials that convert into yearly billing for subscription selling plans.
