Purchases

Deprecated. The Purchase API is deprecated. It still works and existing integrations are unaffected, but it's no longer recommended for new integrations. Support for purchasing multiple plans in a single subscription is planned for the Subscriptions API.

The purchase resource represents a collection of item prices bought together. A purchase can contain one or more of the following:

subscriptions (a subscription resource consists of item prices such that at least one of the item prices belongs to an item of type plan.)
group of one-time charges (aka charge item prices)

Prerequisite

Purchases must be enabled explicitly for the site. If not already enabled, contact eap@chargebee.com. Purchases require the following features to work so they're automatically enabled along with them:

Note

Once created, Chargebee never modifies a purchase resource; it cannot be modified via API either.
