Create a Free Trial for Plans
What’s the difference between a cooling-off period and a free trial period?
In a free trial period, you charge less (because you give away some days ‘free’, compared to a cooling-off period, where you may want to delay taking payment until after the cooling period has completed.
Some shop owners prefer to delay taking payments until after the cooling-off period. They do this to reduce the time spent dealing with refunds should they occur during the cooling-off period.
