I love it, but for my app we charge subscriptions with a free trial up front. Do you have any suggestions on how to phrase the wording so it's clear that the charge isn't going to happen right away?

Yes -- you can change the text of the button in the overlay. See the "panel-label" config option: https://stripe.com/docs/checkout.

Hmm. Thanks for the tip! So, I'm setting:

  data-panel-label="Begin Free Trial"

But on the button I'm still seeing:

  Begin Free Trial $20.00

Not sure if this is the intended behavior, but I just can't see how it makes sense for a free trial.

Ah; right, we should change that/add an option to override. Can you email me? patrick@stripe.com.

I think if you avoid passing in "data-amount" it will not show that text.

Keep in mind that this checkout dialog does not charge the customer anything, so the amount is purely cosmetic.
