We are an internet service provider and we charge a monthly fee for our service. So the real thing I would've been doing was reversing the first month's charge and then cancelling the recurring subscription. Which is exactly what I'd recommend you do if you are launching a new subscription service on Stripe!
- sgc 4y agoJust make a hidden $1 subscription and cancel it without reversing it, then deactivate the item.

If you can test with different cards with different security levels, try a Visa 3D Secure and a 2FA Amex charge. Personally I do them and then get reimbursed (or do them directly on a company credit card) rather than start out a production payment history with refunds, not sure if that matters but I figure if it does it's got to be a bad signal so I may as well avoid it.
- Twirrim 4y agoWhy not just claim the expense on your card as business expense, and pay yourself back?
- w-ll 4y agoAnother good reason to do a Live charge even for subscriptions (add a coupon code to make it like $1 if you really need to) but is to test the credit card expiring after the fact. I've done a lot of billing code an none of the sandboxes really let you test a card that works for N months, and then expires.
