# Skip Free Initial Payments For Recurring Products

This requires the **[Easy Digital Downloads - Recurring Payments](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/recurring-payments/)** in order to work and only affects recurring products with a subscription priced.

To skip zero valued initial checkouts (signup fees) you may add the following code snippet to your WordPress website.

```php
add_filter( 'edd_pf_disable_free_signup', '__return_true' );
```

Once this filter is added it will automatically grab the price and set it as the initial amount and recurring amount.

Example Settings While Filter is enabled.

The outcome from the screenshot above would read as *R299 now and R299 every year until cancelled.*
