A plan defines the payment amount and billing schedule for recurring or subscription payments.
Once a plan is created, you can assign it to multiple subscriptions, and manage changes across multiple subscriptions.
IMPORTANT
Installment-based plans are currently not supported.
Recurring Billing supports two types of plans:
  • Standard plan
    : created and stored within the recurring billing service for reuse. You can assign these plans to multiple subscriptions.
  • One-time plan
    : created specifically for a single subscription and are not stored for reuse nor assigned to other subscriptions.
The plan types have two billing cycle options when defining the number of recurring payments to be made:
