Activating a Plan {#recur-bill-activating-a-plan}
=================================================

You can activate a plan that has a draft or inactive status and that has never been assigned to any subscriptions.  
Follow these steps to activate a plan:

1. In the endpoint path, include the plan ID that you received when you retrieved a list of plans.
2. Send the request to the Recurring Billing endpoint:  
   Production: `POST https://api.cybersource.com/rbs/v1/plans/{id}/activate`  
   Test: `POST https://apitest.cybersource.test.com/rbs/v1/plans/{id}/activate`
3. Verify that the request was successful. A 200-level HTTP response code indicates success. For information about response codes, see [Transaction Response Codes](https://developer.cybersource.com/api/reference/response-codes.md "").{#recur-bill-activating-a-plan_d9e19}
