:::(Warning) ()
Authorize.net does not allow creating a subscription with a 100% discount (i.e., $0 transaction amount).

**Workarounds:**
Charge a Small Amount – Some businesses process a $0.01 or $1 charge to initiate the subscription. Create a coupon code to give 99% discount.

First Cycle Free – Set up the subscription with a first billing cycle of $0 (Trial Period), then charge the next cycle.
