Breaking changes

Subscriptions now default to not defining their trial periods depending on a plan Breaking changes

What’s new

When creating or updating subscriptions, the default value of trial_from_plan is now false, meaning that a subscription no longer automatically inherits a plan’s trial_period_days. If a subscription is already trialling, switching to a new plan without specifying trial_from_plan maintains the trial. We recommend setting an explicit trial per subscription instead of setting trials on plans.

Impact

This change alters the default behaviour for subscription trials, no longer automatically inheriting trial periods from plans. You must now explicitly set trial_from_plan to true if they want to use a plan’s trial period, or set trial periods directly on subscriptions.
