Subscription

Please note that currently, we do not provide any recurring payment options that automatically deduct funds from a customer's account. You will need to create your own subscription plans on your end and keep your users updated on their account status.

Setting up a basic subscription flow is not much different from selling goods online, and as a result, it would require similar steps and building blocks.

Please, refer to the Online Store guide to learn how to set up this flow. After you are done with the basics, here are a few advanced tips for you.

Product Data

You may want to include some additional data with your payment session request. It can be used, for example, to track how much time of subscription you give to your user after the payment.

{
  /* ... */
  "product": {
    "name": "Subscription - 6 Months"
    "id": "monthly_basic",
    "price": {
      "USD_MULTI1": "30.0"    
    },
    "data": `{
      \"timeAdded\": 15552000 /* 6 * 30 * 24 * 3600 */
    }`
  }
  /* ... */
}

You can then use this data when handling customers returning to your site.
