If you'd like to include a FREE trial period with the subscription pricing check the box next to it and choose the numbers of days in the trial.

A free trial period gives students full access to course content for a specified number of days before they are charged the first subscription payment. A credit card is required at the time of registration. However, if the student decides to cancel their subscription before the trial ends they won't be charged anything. Otherwise their subscription becomes active at the end of the trial and continues to bill on a recurring basis going forward.

Optional: Include a FREE trial period with your subscription pricing.

Important note: When new courses are added the default price is always set to FREE with registration.

So, after adding your first price don't forget to make it the default price. To do this, click the gear icon next to your new price and then choose the Make Default option.
