Create free plan
always in my study to learn, I tried to create a free account on wave (local) and paddle sandbox. I can create an account that has a renewal every 99 years and zero euros but at the time of registration it still asks me for my credit card or paypal details. Is there a way to create a simple free profile together with the subscriptions?
Hi there,
You can disable that by:
- Go to your Wave admin at
/admin - Click on
Settings - Click on
Billing - Set the
Require Credit Card Up FronttoNo - Click on
Save Settings
Hope that this helps!
ok, but this disable the subscription plan..
I don't think that Paddle offers this as an option, according to their docs, they suggest the following:
Subscriptions with a trial period will require the customer to provide payment details at the checkout. To offer a non-card-present trial, simply manage the trial period in your platform and prompt the customer to complete the checkout when the trial expires.

Can you clarify what is the use-case for this?
yes, think it like Medium.com where
- Not logged user can read 3 article at week
- Registerd user with FREE plan can read unlimited article with ADS, follow authors, comment, like...
- Pro Reader, 1€ month unlimited article without ADS
- Writer, 2€ month personal 'blog'
- Pro Writer, 3€ month personal blog with custom subdomain
Hi there,
That would work perfectly well with the free account, you don't need the Paddle subscription to implement the logic.
- For not logged in users:
@if (auth()->guest())
do this
@else
do that
@endif
- For logged in free users:
@if ( auth()->user()->role->name == 'free' )
do this
@else
do that
@endif
You don't need a Paddle subscription in order to check if the user is on a free plan in the Wave app itself. You can create different roles locally and limit the users based on those roles.
Hope that this helps!
And i can show the free registration form if they go for the free account. all clear, thanks
