Limitations of addon trial

Problem Statement

You want to understand the limitations of the addon trial feature in Chargebee.

Solution

• Recurring addons alone can have trial period added to them. Non-recurring addons are not supported.
• Addons with a trial period can be added only for Subscriptions in Active state.
• Once set, the trial_end of an addon cannot be modified. In order to modify, the addon need to be removed and added again with a new trial_end.
• When the addon is going through the trial period, values of all fields, except for trial_end value, can be modified.
• Addons going through the trial period will move to Active state only when the trial period ends.
• The changes for the addon will be applied immediately and cannot be scheduled for the end of term of the subscription.
• For Advance Invoicing, addon on trial feature will not function.
