Subscriptions will be billed through your Apple ID account somewhat automatically, using the payment method as set for the account. Even free trials have the requirement for a payment method (so that can be used automatically after the trial - if not canceled before that).

Subscriptions need a payment method that can be charged automatically and periodically, and possibly internationally. (European users may be asked to pay to Apple Ireland.) Check with your financial institution if your card can be used that way.

If none of your payment methods are accepted, the likely you can use Apple ID account balance (like store credit) to start a subscription. A balance to the amount of one regular billing cycle should be enough for starters.
