You can enter a trial phase if your Subscription requires a set number of days before charging the buyer. For example, a 30-day trial, 3-month trial, or other combinations are possible.
Discount Phase
You can enter a discount phase if you would like to have a discounted rate for a set amount of intervals. These take place after the Trial Phase is completed.
