Ramps

The ramp resource or a subscription ramp represents a planned change to a subscription set to occur at a future date. By using this resource, you can define and schedule modifications to a subscription, such as updating pricing, altering the quantity, or transitioning to a different plan, without immediately applying them.

Note
  • Upcoming ramps limit: A subscription can have a maximum of 12 upcoming ramps at any given time, excluding deleted ramps. Upcoming ramps are ramps with status as scheduled.
  • Total ramps limit: A subscription can have a maximum of 100 ramps at any given time, excluding deleted ramps.
  • Update subscription for items limit: changes_scheduled_at parameter cannot be set to a future date when the ramps feature is enabled.

Update a subscription ramp

Idempotency Supported
Batch

Updates an existing subscription ramp by replacing its current attribute values with the new parameters provided. When using this API to modify a ramp, make sure to include all the ramp's attributes as you would do during creation of the ramp with the necessary values updated.

Example: step-by-step flow

The following steps explains how to update effective_from value of an existing ramp.

Step 1: Retrieve current ramp values

  1. Send a request to retrieve the current values of all parameters for the subscription ramp using Retrieve a subscription ramp API.
  2. Review the response to get the current values of the ramp's attributes. Note down all the parameters and their values.

Step 2: Update ramp with new values

  1. Prepare the request to update the ramp.
    • Update the effective_from value in the noted down attributes of ramp from the previous step.
    • Ensure all parameters, even those not being changed, are included in the request.
  2. Send the prepared request to Update subscription ramp API.
    • Verify the response object to ensure a successful subscription ramp update. If it returns an error, repeat step 1 again.

Note
  • Ramp status: You cannot update a ramp in succeeded or failed status.
  • Advance invoice: You cannot update ramps for subscriptions that have an advance invoice schedule.
