Subscription: Free trail without cc needed; ask for creditcard/paypal when free trail ends, not upfront

I’m using WooCommerce and Subscriptions to sell access to premium content. Currently its configured with a 30-day free trial. So users sign up, enter their credit card, and as long as they don’t cancel before the end of the trial, we ping them.

I’d like to move the credit card entry to the end of the free trial. In other words, people would sign up, have access for 30 days, then have to enter their card to continue getting access. Is this an easy thing to do in WooCommerce, or do I need to do some work outside of WooCommerce on membership/reg? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

    I was surprised to find this wasn’t already a feature. Enabling this would drive more potential business to my site, as people are always skeptical to add credit card information for free trials (at least in my experience).

    This will cause us to leave woosubscriptions if we can locate another option that offers it.

    Would it be easier to make a free subscription variable, ability to limit access and at the end offer an upgrade to a paid subscription without an option to renew the free variable? Maybe send the client an email to upgrade.

    Any update on this?

    This would be really useful! Our freemium subscription model would benefit significantly from this.
    Can we have this soon please?

    Just wanted to bump this feature request up again. IMHO it should be up to the creator of a website whether they want to put the credit card information before the trial or after the trial. If the customer sees value in the Web offering after the free trial (like Basecamp for example), they will WANT to enter their cc info. The onus should be put on the software itself to create the value, not the “sell” of the software up front. Of course that sell is important, too, but the software should motivate people to want to enter that CC info after the trial.
