ClickBank charges a $.50 fee for the initial sale of a product with a free trial (a $0 initial price). This fee is displayed using the code ftfee-01 in transactions reporting.
NOTE: The ability to create a product with a $0 initial price is an admin-controlled feature. Contact ClickBank if you want to offer a product with a free trial. If you want to create a "free + shipping" trial, you can enable that feature from My Features.
