I am using Google Checkout for recurring payments (beta feature i beleive) and I cannot find any information on what the XML I post to google should look like in order to implement a trial period.
At the moment I have something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<checkout-shopping-cart xmlns="http://checkout.google.com/schema/2">
<shopping-cart>
<items>
<item>
<item-name>My Item Name</item-name>
<item-description>An Awesome Item You Should Buy</item-description>
<unit-price currency="GBP">29.99</unit-price>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<subscription type="google" period="MONTHLY">
<payments>
<subscription-payment>
<maximum-charge currency="GBP">29.99</maximum-charge>
</subscription-payment>
</payments>
<recurrent-item>
<item-name>My Item Name</item-name>
<item-description>An Awesome Item You Should Buy</item-description>
<unit-price currency="GBP">29.99</unit-price>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<digital-content>

This works fine - it bills each month, but I cant find any clues online as to what and where I should put something to include, for example, the first 20 days for free. Any Help?
