Description

I'm trying to integrate the new Paddle Billing with my laravel app, I'm not able to craete a customer.

I want to offer a free trial without payment method upfront and I followed the documentations like so

In the RegisteredUserController Controller right after I create the new user I try to make it as a customer like so

$user->createAsCustomer([ 'trial_ends_at' => now()->addDays(7) ]);

But I keep getting this error and I don't know if it's an issue with Paddle or with Cashier.

I have all the required env variables set:

PADDLE_SANDBOX=true
PADDLE_SELLER_ID= # Set to my seller ID
PADDLE_AUTH_CODE= # Set to y API Key
PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET= # Set to my webhook secret

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, or is it just me.

Steps To Reproduce

• Install fresh laravel app
• Install and configure paddle as it's showen in the docs
• Install laravel/breeze to add authentication
• in the RegisteredUserController add the following line $user->createAsCustomer([ 'trial_ends_at' => now()->addDays(7) ]); right after you create the user.

Ok I found the source for this issue,

The createAsCustomer method sends the trial_ends_at property to paddle with the create customer POST request, and in my case since I want a free trial without payment method upfront Paddle is not expecting trial_ends_at property so it throws the following error

I was able to get it to work by updating the createAsCustomer method and unsetting the trial_ends_at from the $options array, like so.

This was just to test if it's gonna work or not, but this method needs to be updated to handle generic trials.
