# Setup Fee

If you're selling a subscription, and you want to have a setup fee or different first payment amount, you can follow the instructions below.

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure you're using the [PRO Plan](https://paymentpageplugin.com/pricing/) to be able to designate a setup fee. 
{% endhint %}

When any subscription period is selected, just check the box for "Different first payment amount."

{% hint style="danger" %}
Important: The first payment amount cannot be set to 0. That would be considered a free trial, and free trials are not yet supported by Payment Page. This documentation will be updated when it's available. [Reach out to support](https://payment.page/support/) to make a request if you want free trial functionality. 
{% endhint %}

Once you've enabled the "Different first payment amount," you will also see the corresponding field to display the "First Payment Amount" on the pricing dropdown, and submit buttons:
