Create subscription

Use this method to assign a customer to a payment plan.

Note: This method is part of our Repeat Payments feature. To help you understand how this method works with our Payment plans endpoints, go to Repeat Payments.

When you create a subscription you need to provide a unique subscriptionId that you use to run follow-on actions:

The request includes the following settings:

  • paymentPlanId - Unique identifier of the payment plan that the merchant wants to use. If you don't have the paymentPlanId, use our List Payment Plans method to search for the payment plan.
  • paymentMethod - Object that contains information about the secure token, which represents the customer's card details or bank account details.
  • startDate - Date that you want to start to take payments.

You can also update the settings that the subscription inherited from the payment plan, for example, you can change the amount for each payment. If you change the settings for the subscription, it doesn't change the settings in the payment plan that it's linked to.
