Creating a Subscription

You can create a subscription with a standard plan, with plan overrides, or with a fully customized, one-time plan.
The start date must be in coordinated universal time (UTC) in this format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. The T separates the date and the time. The Z indicates UTC. For example,
2023-08-11T22:47:57Z
 indicates August 11, 2023, at 22:47:57 (10:47:57PM). For subscriptions with a future start date, the payment processing time defaults to start at 2:00a.m. in your time zone. For subscriptions created on the start date, set the time to the current time and day in your time zone.
Follow these steps to create a subscription:
  1. Send the request to the recurring billing endpoint:
