Subscriptions

Subscriptions allow you to link customers to your existing plans. With this API, you can integrate a subscription system into your platform, facilitating customer enrollment, renewal, and cancellation in different subscription plans.


Subscription Lifecycle

The following diagram illustrates the different states a subscription can go through and the transitions between them, based on events like successful or failed payments, or administrative actions.

#ActionTransition
1A subscription was successfully created.StartActive
2Successful recurring payment execution.Active/PendingActive
3The administrator blocked the subscription.ActiveBlocked
4The administrator unblocked the subscription.BlockedActive
5The buyer deactivated their subscription.ActiveInactive
6Recurring payment error (daily/weekly) - attempts = 1.ActiveInactive
7The subscription link is invalid (expired, inactive, or deleted).Active/Blocked/PendingInactive
8Recurring payment error (monthly/annual) - attempts <= 2.ActivePending
9Recurring payment error (monthly/annual) - attempts = 3.PendingInactive
