    I set up a product to have a free 7-day trial with monthly recurring billing at $27 thereafter.

    However, on the up page the price $27 is shown after the product name. My subscribers will get confused by this. How do I change the displayed price to $0 without impacting the recurring charge of $27?

    As a thought - could you create a first product which has $0 cost and a subscription limit of 7 days and disallow it to members with an active/expired subscription to this product; then create a second product which is your recurring paid subscription. Not tested but should work ok. If you don't want visitors to be presented with a choice of 7-day trial or paid subscription then make the paid subscription dependent on the visitor having a paid or expired trial product.

    Hope that helps, Ian

    The problem is, I want the 7 day trial to automatically bill at the monthly rate once the 7 days have elapsed unless the user cancels.

    If I set them up as different products, the user won't automatically start the paid membership after the 7 days.

    This will negatively affect sales.
