Is this something that stripe allows you to do?

Good question! I think so? We should investigate as this would allow us to give people a "bar tab"

Okay so I think this is possible based on reading this page https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle although it hasn't fully clicked for me how this would work.

I've sent an email to Stripe support to confirm that this is the right way to do it.

tldr; I'm fairly sure we can do this.

I have had a response from Stripe that indicates the above is the correct way to go about things. Having a member choose the date of payment at the start of sign-up seems relatively straightforward, but I would want to do some testing around changing a subscription payment date to make sure members are charged as expected.

On reflection, I'm not sure if this is an MVP requirement as the system would technically work with out it for the time being. Moving to v1.1.
