Paying First and Last Month of Subscription

Paying First and Last Month of Subscription

Our company is trying to figure out payment processing. 

We're going to be using 12 month subscriptions & need to capture payment for the first and last month at the beginning of the subscription. What I have seen so far is that we're only able to charge for single month at a time. 

What is the best way to accomplish this?

Our example are salt. Delivery is free but have a minimum delivery. Pickup is cheaper so it has its own category- pickup.
