Feature Request: Ability to add subscriptions with a total of $0 and no payment on file

Hello,

 

We would like the ability to add subscriptions where it's discounted down to $0 and without it requiring us to enter a payment method. 

 

Reasons/use cases:

  • Transferring existing customer subscriptions from a different system, where they've already prepaid
  • Gifting subscriptions to customers (complimentary subscription, a giveaway where they won a subscription, giving a subscription to someone who backed a Kickstarter, etc) 

 

The system currently will not allow us to create a subscription if the total owed is $0.

 

In Shopify, you could create an order for an item(s) or a subscription on the back-end if the total was $0. If the total was $0, then it did not require a payment method (credit card, etc). It just asked for confirmation to make sure you really wanted to give something away for free. 

 

We would like to see this feature in Square.

Adding my support here.  Especially for the gifting/comping subscriptions part.  I can definitely foresee a use case where I giveaway a subscription, and where I comp one as a remedy for a customer issue that needs that sort of remedy.  Since subscriptions can already be discounted to $0.01, we are just asking for the ability to reduce that to $0 using an existing 100% discount code, or similar discounting method.  Thanks!
