• No payment authorization is required during activation.
• The customer can add a payment mandate at any time while the trial is active.
• When the trial ends:
  • If a payment mandate is available, Transact Bridge attempts to collect the first payment.
  • Otherwise, the subscription follows the configured billing or activation policy.
