To my understanding, doing that would solve the issue.
I have to test it and check with the client which has had some weird requirements so… I might be coming back to ask the same thing, slightly different haha.

I’ll set this thread as resolved, and create a new one if the need arises.

Thank you both for the answers.

(Before someone asks)

When I originally posted this question, the membership level didn’t have the “Email activation” option checked.
But, except at the time of the first post, all the tests on the subsequent answers did have the “Email activation” option checked for the membership level.

Sorry, the wordpress site and admin is in Japanese, so I guess I didn’t select “Pending” but “Activation required”.

However, I now tested after setting the default account status to “Pending” and it still bills the user right away.

I see that the new account status is listed as “activation_required”.
(What is the difference?)

But even without clicking on the email link/completing the registration form with their password, etc. I see that the user has already been billed as it shows the payment in the stripe dashboard.

So, my original concern is not really addressed?
