# Start Subscription Checkout

`POST /api/v1/billing/checkout/subscription`

Start checkout for the monthly plan.

Grants nothing: the returned URL is an invitation to pay, and entitlement
follows the webhook that confirms payment. A workspace that already has a
payable session is redirected to it rather than given a second one, so a
double-clicked upgrade cannot become two subscriptions.
