    Hi there,

    Thank you for your suggestion!

    We noticed that there is a similar request about this, which currently has more votes: https://woocommerce.com/feature-request/woocommerce-subscriptions-subscriber-can-choose-start-date/. To better prioritize requests, we aim to keep 1 request open per feature. That’s why I will close this one. I encourage you to upvote the above request instead.

    Hi folks, if you want to see this feature added, please add your votes to the more popular issue for a similar idea here: http://ideas.woocommerce.com/forums/133476-woocommerce/suggestions/6663831-delay-start-of-subscription

    We keep track on all ideas, but prioritise features based on popularity and having all votes on the one ideas helps us do that.

    Yes, I’m also looking for a way to sell far-future courses that give out initial goodies for the sign-up fee, but the real thing starts later.
