Creating a Plan

Create a plan to define the billing schedule, which includes the amount, frequency, and billing cycles for a subscription. A subscription's plan duration (number of billing cycles) cannot exceed 12 months. The interval between subscription payments cannot exceed 12 months.
IMPORTANT
If a subscription is to use a one-time plan instead of a standard plan, you create the one-time plan when you create the subscription. The plan details are embedded in the subscription request.
When you create a plan, the system assigns an ID to the plan. Use the plan ID to request these actions:
  • Creating a subscription
  • Retrieving a plan
  • Amending a plan
  • Activating a plan
  • Deactivating a plan
  • Deleting a plan
Follow these steps to create a plan:
  1. Send the request to the recurring billing endpoint:
