Sign-up Fee – If you want to charge a sign-up fee for new subscribers, enter the amount here.

Recurring Shipping Charges – If you want to charge shipping fees for each recurring payment, enter the amount here.

Free Trial Length – If you want to offer a free trial for your subscription plans, enter the number of days here.
