I appreciate that this module is still in beta but I am wondering if I can install it now without creating conflicts with the Foxycart module which I already have on the site.

Is it a completely standalone module or does it work with the existing Foxycart module?

Also I am wondering....can I install it now without activating it so that I can at least take a look at it. Would this cause any problems?

Or should I just wait?

The Subscribe module works with the Payment module and not FoxyCart. These new modules are designed to replace the FoxyCart module and will allow you to collect payments using Stripe or PayPal without the monthly FoxyCart costs. It also does support FoxyCart if you need the flexibility that they provide.
Hope that helps

I believe the new Subscriptions module, while still beta, is more stable than the existing FoxyCart module. The reason I have not moved it out of beta yet is that I've been still adding additional features on a fairly regular basis as more corner cases crop up. Note that it will import your existing FoxyCart subscriptions for you from the tools menu.

If you just want to check it out, I'd recommend installing it on your dev site. Note that we're running it here "live" if that means anything :)
