title: When am I supposed to consider a subscription "active" in Stripe?
body: <p>When am I supposed to consider a subscription "active"? When I successfully do my initial <code>stripe.customers.create</code> call? Or do I have to wait for an <code>invoice.payment_succeeded</code> event some time later?</p>
  
  <p>If it's right after <code>stripe.customers.create</code>, does that mean I could then immediately call <code>stripe.invoices.list</code>, get the initial invoice, and have that guaranteed to be paid? Because I figure I'd want to save <code>lines.data[0].period.end</code> so my database is completely in sync with Stripe's database for when the subscription period ends.</p>
  
  <p>If it's not right after <code>stripe.customers.create</code>, then am I supposed to wait to give my users access to the premium content until <code>invoice.payment_succeeded</code> happens some time in the future? That seems awkward. And then would I need a special case to ignore <code>invoice.payment_succeeded</code> from the initial payment? Or does that not fire for the first payment?</p>
  
  <p>I guess I am very confused about all this...</p>
