Tip:
Instead of offering a trial period at the start of a regular pricing plan, you can create a promotional trial plan that customers can book only once.
Creating a plan with a free trial period
You can create free trial periods for plans that include recurring payments (e.g. a monthly gym membership or a coffee subscription). This is a great way for customers to get to know your business before making a commitment.

- Enter the Price.
- Set how often you take payment from Payment frequency in the drop-down.
- Click the Length of plan drop-down and choose from the following options:
- Choose a set length: Choose from the available options.
- Until canceled: This option allows the plan to continue until you or the client cancels it.
- Custom: Choose the number of months you want the plan to last for.
