You can create a subscription with either a standard plan, with plan overrides, or with a fully-customized one-time plan specifically for an individual subscription.
When you create a subscription before the subscription start date, account verification (zero
amount authorization) is performed to ensure that the card details stored are still valid
before creating a subscription.
When you create a subscription on the subscription start date, account verification is not performed, as the first recurring payment will be taken immediately.
When a subscription is created, an ID is assigned to the subscription, and the subscription
ID is used for these services:
IMPORTANT
A subscription's plan duration (billing cycles) cannot exceed 12
months.
Assigning a Subscription Code
When you create a subscription, you can supply a subscription code that relates to your
business and is used for reference to the subscription. This code can be numeric or
alphanumeric with dash (-) and dot (.) characters, and up to 10 characters long.
If you do not supply a subscription code, the recurring billing system automatically assigns
a code.
Plan Overrides
When assigning a plan to a subscription or amending a subscription, you can amend standard plan details at an individual subscription level. For examples, an amendment to billing amount, plan duration (billing cycles) amendment, or removal of setup.
IMPORTANT
Plan overrides are only applicable to the individual subscription and
will not amend the standard plan details used for other subscriptions. To amend plan details,
see Amend a Plan.
