I am trying to implement a recurring subscription service on a website using PayPal however I would like to offer a free trial period before the user is billed and the subscription is started. Is this possible using PayPal's API?
I have very little experience using the PayPal API and cannot seem to find any useful documentation about implementing a free trial period, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Usually, you have to give your credit card number for a “free trial.” That way, the company can charge you if you don't cancel before the trial period ends. Dishonest businesses make it tough to cancel, and will keep charging you — even if you don't want the product or subscription anymore.
Though a free trial shouldn't cost you anything, you may see a pending charge or pre-authorization on your account, which is basically the company's way of verifying that your account is legit.
Yes, you can do this.
