### **What is it?**

HubSpot Payment customers can now configure recurring products and services to start billing on a future calendar date when you get paid.

### **Why does it matter?**

Currently, all subscriptions with HubSpot payments start right after the buyer goes through checkout. However, many times the payment for recurring products needs to start on a date different from the checkout date of the buyer. Examples of such use cases are:

- Complete user onboarding or deliver a few milestones before charging the buyer on a regular basis
- Sell online courses & classes that are set to start on a fixed date in the future, and that’s when the payment should be collected
- Align the billing cycle for all new buyers for easy accounting processes

### **How does it work?**

When creating a payment link or quote, merchants can configure the “billing start date” for recurring line items by choosing a date from the calendar.

When the buyer proceeds to checkout on such a payment link, they will see the amount to be paid today and future charges clearly.

The payment notification & buyer receipt will also be updated with the start dates of their subscriptions.

In the HubSpot CRM, the newly created subscription record will have a new status called “Scheduled” and it will start billing as per the configured date.

**Supported configuration:**

- Add at least one one-time billable product that will be charged on the initial checkout session
- All recurring line items should be configured to start on the same future date

### **Who gets it?**

All HubSpot payments customers. Currently, HubSpot payments is available to U.S.-based customers using a Starter, Professional, or Enterprise edition of any hub.
