[Wishlist] Collect payment details from free members Not planned
[This post was migrated from our old community roadmap]
1) The problem → I am creating a service where users can “join” for free. However, as part of their profile setup, they need to provide their credit card info. (create account w/ email → populate profile → supply a payment method.) I didn’t see a way to add credit card info to the profile setup.
2) Why is this important → I offer an unlimited free trial so customers can use a limited version of my product indefinitely.
3) What's your plan B → (A) Have a membership that is $0 so that I can get credit card info. (B) Creating a membership of type “free” and then have the CC info added later... but I need a way to collect it. (C) Using a Free Trial doesn't make sense because I don’t know the exact number of days before the user is ready to go. I can’t use an arbitrary 14 days; it’s once they have completed their profile information.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → An option to require a credit card when signing up for a free plan - OR - the ability to add a payment method in a free member's account (via profile, modal, custom UI, etc.)

Noting this feature which Stripe offers. Not sure if it's something we have access to https://stripe.com/docs/payments/capture-later
