Background and pain
The pain
No-code can model the whole flow except billing — subscriptions, trials and refunds break it.

The opening
A billing component for no-code: hosted checkout plus subscription state written back.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "subscriptions / no-code" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Glide Community, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
