Delay Start of Subscription
I wondered if there was a way to offer an option to delay the start of a subscription? I want to market my subscription as a present, which means the subscription should be available from the time the present is given not from when it is purchased.

yes, please add this. we sell memberships to monthly seminars but we need promotional time a month or two ahead of the starting dates, we can't wait to advertise it one day ahead of when it starts.. so people sign up a month or two ahead of time and i'm not sure how to handle this. it could be a nightmare of manually trying to get all the people sorted out who have signed up at different times for something that doesn't start for two months from now. Thank you!

Also need this an a option. I sell microgreens to restaurants and upon taking an order we need 2 week lead time to fulfill the order off the hop. So when they set up weekly orders for microgreens the first payment would need to be in 2 weeks when their first delivery is ready. Surprised this isn't already a feature to be honest.

This is a really pressing issue for many woocommerce customers. personally, I'd even love to pay for this feature, as long as its integrated asap

Please add! I am desperate. We sell Produce boxes and we need customers to be able to order in advance so we can grow in advance! But I need them to be able to order at least a month in advance without the subscription starting before we deliver.

I want to do exactly the same thing... have the customer choose to send the first instalment on a special day (e.g. birthday, anniversary, father's day, etc)

There is a plugin that solves this issue: First payment date for WooCommerce Subscriptions.
That this feature hasn't been added in 6 years tells you all you need to know about this plugin.

Is this functionality has been added in woocommerce now?

This functionality would be so helpful for schools setting up tuition payments where students register ahead of time, but payments don't need to start until school begins.
