    ...and configure the following options:

    a. Subscription name. You can always customize the label. You can choose whatever you need.  Let's say, Monthly Donations.

    b. Price and Payment Schedule. Select one of the recurring options: Daily, Weekly  ,Bi-weekly, Monthly, Bi-Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Yearly, Yearly and Bi-Yearly. 

    c. Number of payments. Set this if you want to stop charging customers after a certain timeframe. Let's say, you charge your customer five (5) times and automatically stop it on the six (6th) time, select five (5) from the dropdown selections.

    d. First Payment. If you want to charge your customer a bigger amount from the original for their first payment. Usually, this applies for setup fees. The amount should not be less than the original price.

    e. Trial Period. If you want to set a trial period for your customers. Trial period options are: One day, three days, five days, one week, two weeks, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, six months and one year.
