Implementing a free trial period with PayPal

Question

I am trying to implement a recurring subscription service on a website using PayPal however I would like to offer a free trial period before the user is billed and the subscription is started. Is this possible using PayPal's API?

I have very little experience using the PayPal API and cannot seem to find any useful documentation about implementing a free trial period, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
