This status indicates that the trial period for the subscription has not yet started. ## Editing Actions for Future Subscriptions ### 1. Edit Start Date - Open the subscription with the status set as "Future". - The most important action is to edit the start date of the trial. - If a customer requests to start the trial immediately, select "Immediately" and click on "Update". - Ensure to add comments explaining why the trial is starting immediately. ### 2. Edit Subscription Information - You can modify subscription details, such as adding additional units of add-ons or changing the plan. - For example, switch from an annual plan to a 6-month plan. - Note that these changes will only take effect upon the activation of the customer, which occurs after the trial period is completed. ### 3. Additional Actions for Trial Status - Add coupons to the subscription. - Include one-time add-ons or quick charges. - If necessary, prompt the customer to update their payment details before the trial begins by triggering an email. These are the available actions you can perform on a subscription in the "Future" status. Thank you for watching.
