Subscriptions

API Version

Product Catalog

Library

A Chargebee subscription connects a customer record to products/services. It describes what the customer has signed up for and how often they're charged for it. The essential components of a subscription are:

A plan-item price.
Any addon- and charge-item prices applied to the subscription.
Any coupons applied.
Any discounts applied.

The charges in a subscription are billed via invoices.

Note: The maximum number of subscriptions for any given customer (active or not) is 900.

Subscription billing frequencies

Chargebee offers two billing frequency options for subscriptions:

Plan-based billing (default): Subscriptions are billed based on the billing period defined for the item price of the item_type plan. Learn more.
Multi-frequency billing: Subscriptions are billed according to the billing period of each recurring item price within the subscription. Learn more.

Important

Limitations of Multi-frequency billing.

Private Beta

Multi-frequency billing is in private beta. Please reach out to the Chargebee support to enable this feature.

The selection of the billing frequency preference is configured at the site level.

Item price compatibility in a subscription

When creating or updating a subscription, one of the item prices specified under subscription_items must be a plan-item price. The remaining must be compatible addon- or charge-item prices. An item price is compatible with a plan-item price if their currencies are the same. Additionally, an addon-item price is compatible with a plan-item price only if their billing frequencies meet the following conditions:

`period_unit` for plan-item price	Compatible `period_unit` for addon-item price	Compatible period for addon-item price
`day`	`day`	The `period` of the plan-item price should be divisible by the `period` of the addon-item price. Example If the `period` of the plan-item price is `10`, then the period of the addon-item price can be `10`, `5`, `2`, or `1`.
`week`	`week` or `day`	The `period` (in days) of the plan-item price should be divisible by the `period` of the addon-item price. Example If the `period` of the plan-item price is `2`, then the period of the addon-item price can be as follows depending on the value of `period_unit`: for `period_unit` as `week`, `period` can be `2` or `1`. for `period_unit` as `day`, `period` can be `14`, `7`, `2`, or `1`.
`month`	`month`	The `period` of the plan-item price should be divisible by the `period` of the addon-item price. Example If the `period` of the plan-item price is `6`, then the `period` of the addon-item price can be `6`, `3`, `2`, or `1`.
`year`	`year` or `month`	The `period` (in months) of the plan-item price should be divisible by the `period` of the addon-item price. Example If the `period` of the plan-item price is `2`, then the `period` of the addon-item price can be as follows depending on the value of `period_unit`: for `period_unit` as `year`, `period` can be `2` or `1`. for `period_unit` as `month`, `period` can be `24`, `12`, `8`, `6`, `4`, `3`, `2`, or `1`.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/customers/{customer-id}/subscription_for_items

id[]

optional, string, max chars=50
A unique and immutable identifier for the subscription. If not provided, it is autogenerated.

business_entity_id[]

optional, string, max chars=50

The unique ID of the business entity this subscription should be linked to. Applicable only when multiple business entities have been created for the site. This must be the same as the business entity of the {customer_id} for the operation to be successful.

Note

An alternative way of passing this parameter is by means of a custom HTTP header.

trial_end[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
End of the trial period for the subscription. This overrides the trial period set for the plan-item. The value must be later than start_date. Set it to 0 to have no trial period.

billing_cycles[]

optional, integer, min=0

Specifies the number of billing cycles for the subscription. The behavior of the subscription after the billing cycles have completed depends on whether the subscription is on a contract term or not.

When the subscription is not on a contract term: if billing_cycles is not provided, then the billing cycles set for the plan-item price is used. Moreover, once the billing_cycles have completed, the subscription cancels.
When the subscription is on a contract term: Providing billing_cycles is mandatory. Moreover, once the billing_cycles have completed, the behavior of the subscription is determined by the contract_term[action_at_term_end] parameter.

mandatory_items_to_remove[[0..n]][0..n]

optional, list of string
Item ids of mandatorily attached addons that are to be removed from the subscription.

net_term_days[]

optional, integer
Defines Net D for the subscription. Net D is the number of days within which any invoice raised for the subscription must be paid.

If a value is provided: Net D is set explicitly for the subscription to the value provided. The value must be one among those defined in the site configuration.
If not provided: The attribute is not set and therefore not returned by the API. In this case, when an invoice is raised – whether now or later – the net_term_days defined at the customer level is considered.

start_date[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The date/time at which the subscription is to start. If not provided, the subscription starts immediately. You can provide a value in the past as well. This is called backdating the subscription creation and is done when the subscription has already been provisioned but its billing has been delayed. Backdating is allowed only when the following prerequisites are met:

If the subscription is in Non Renewing or In Trial state and is also scheduled to cancel at the end of current term, then this API can be used to remove the scheduled cancellation. When a scheduled cancellation is removed, the subscription will revert to Active or In Trial state, whichever is the state before cancellation was scheduled.

While removing the scheduled cancellation, you may specify the number of billing cycles. If the billing cycle is not specified, the default billing cycle from the plan will be applied on the subscription.

This endpoint optionally supports 3DS. To use it, create a payment_intent and provide it via this endpoint.
When the Remove mandatory add-ons from old plan during subscription plan update setting is enabled on your Chargebee site, all mandatory addons with the old plan will be automatically removed during the subscription update to a new plan.

Caution

If the subscription currently includes ramps, it's important to note that any ramps scheduled may move to the draft status due to changes in plan billing frequency, line item, or term end. Carefully review your ramp configurations and the details of the subscription update to prevent any unintended disruptions to the subscription.

Updates the specified subscription by setting the parameters passed. Any parameters not provided are left unmodified. If an invoice is generated for this operation, any available credits and excess payments for the customer are automatically applied.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/update_for_items

mandatory_items_to_remove[[0..n]][0..n]

optional, list of string
A list of item IDs representing the mandatorily attached addons associated with the plan to which the subscription is being updated. These addons will be removed from the subscription during the subscription update process.

replace_items_list[]

optional, boolean, default=false
If true then the existing subscription_items list for the subscription is replaced by the one provided. If false then the provided subscription_items list gets added to the existing list.

net_term_days[]

optional, integer
Updates Net D for the subscription. Net D is the number of days within which any invoice raised for the subscription must be paid.

If the value is 0 or a positive integer: Net D is set explicitly for the subscription to the value provided. The value must be one of those defined in the site configuration.
If the value is -1: The attribute is reset and therefore not returned by the API. In this case, when an invoice is raised – whether now or later – the net_term_days defined at the customer level is considered.
If the value is not provided: The attribute is left unaltered.

invoice_date[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The document date displayed on the invoice PDF. The default value is the current date. Provide this value to backdate the invoice. Backdating an invoice is done for reasons such as booking revenue for a previous date or when the subscription is effective as of a past date. Moreover, if create_pending_invoices is set to true, and if the site is configured to set invoice dates to date of closing, then upon invoice closure, this date is changed to the invoice closing date. taxes and line_item_taxes are computed based on the tax configuration as of invoice_date. When passing this parameter, the following prerequisites must be met:

invoice_date must be in the past.
invoice_date is not more than one calendar month into the past. For example, if today is 13th January, then you cannot pass a value that is earlier than 13th December.
It is not earlier than changes_scheduled_at, reactivate_from, or trial_end.
invoice_immediately is true.

start_date[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The new start date of a future subscription. Applicable only for future subscriptions.

trial_end[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

The time at which the trial has ended or will end for the subscription. Set it to 0 to have no trial period.

Note

This is only allowed when the subscription status is future, in_trial, or cancelled.
The value must not be earlier than changes_scheduled_at or start_date.
This parameter can be backdated (set to a value in the past) only when the subscription is in cancelled or in_trial status. Do this to keep a record of when the trial ended in case it ended at some point in the past. When trial_end is backdated, the subscription immediately goes into active or non_renewing status.

billing_cycles[]

optional, integer, min=0
Billing cycles set for plan-item price is used by default.

terms_to_charge[]

optional, integer, min=1
The number of subscription billing cycles to invoice in advance. If a new term is started for the subscription due to this API call, then terms_to_charge is inclusive of this new term. See description for the force_term_reset parameter to learn more about when a subscription term is reset.

reactivate_from[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
If the subscription status is cancelled and it is being reactivated via this operation, this is the date/time at which the subscription should be reactivated.
Note: It is recommended not to pass this parameter along with changed_scheduled_at. reactivate_from can be backdated (set to a value in the past). Use backdating when the subscription has been reactivated already but its billing has been delayed. Backdating is allowed only when the following prerequisites are met:

Backdating must be enabled for subscription reactivation operations.
The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating subscription change. This limit is the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
The date is on or after the last date/time any of the product catalog items of the subscription were changed.
The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the plan in the subscription is 2 months and today is 14th April, changes_scheduled_at cannot be earlier than 14th February.

billing_alignment_mode[]

optional, enumerated string
Override the billing alignment mode chosen for the site for calendar billing. Only applicable when using calendar billing.

Possible values are

auto_collection[]

optional, enumerated string
Defines whether payments need to be collected automatically for this subscription. Overrides customer's auto-collection property.

Possible values are

offline_payment_method[]

optional, enumerated string
The preferred offline payment method for the subscription.

Possible values are

no_preferenceNo PreferencecashCashcheckCheckbank_transferBank Transfer

Show all values[+]

po_number[]

optional, string, max chars=100
Purchase order number for this subscription.

coupon_ids[[0..n]][0..n]

optional, list of string
List of coupons to be applied to this subscription. You can provide coupon ids or coupon codes. If changes_scheduled_at is in the past, then the currently available coupons can be used even if they were not available as of the date for when the change is scheduled.

replace_coupon_list[]

optional, boolean, default=false
If true then the existing coupon_ids list for the subscription is replaced by the one provided. If false then the provided list gets added to the existing coupon_ids.

prorate[]

optional, boolean

When true: Prorated credits or charges are created as applicable for this change.
When false: The subscription is changed without creating any credits or charges.
When not provided, the value configured in the site settings is considered.

Caveat

For further changes within the same billing term, when prorate is set to true, credits are not created when all the conditions below hold true:

An immediate previous change was made

with prorate set to false and
no changes were made to the subscription’s billing term and
a change was made to either the subscription’s items or their prices.

end_of_term[]

optional, boolean, default=false

Caution

This parameter is unavailable when the Subscription Ramps feature is enabled; use Create a ramp API instead.

Set this to true if you want the update to be applied at the end of the current subscription billing cycle.

force_term_reset[]

optional, boolean, default=false
Say the subscription has the renewal date as 28th of every month. When the plan-item price of the subscription is set to one that has the same billing period as the current plan-item price, the subscription change does not change the term. In other words, the subscription still renews on the 28th. Passing this parameter as true will have the subscription reset its term to the current date (provided end_of_term is false).
Note: When the new plan-item price has a billing period different from the current plan-item price of the subscription, the term is always reset, regardless of the value passed for this parameter.

reactivate[]

optional, boolean
When the status of the subscription is cancelled, this parameter determines whether the subscription is reactivated upon making this API request. Unless passed explicitly as false, this parameter is implied as true when you provide the subscription_items parameter.

token_id[]

optional, string, max chars=40
The Chargebee payment token generated by Chargebee JS.

invoice_notes[]

optional, string, max chars=2000
A customer-facing note added to all invoices associated with this subscription. This note is one among all the notes displayed on the invoice PDF.

meta_data[]

optional, jsonobject
A collection of key-value pairs that provides extra information about the subscription.

Note: There's a character limit of 65,535.

Learn more.

invoice_immediately[]

Note: invoice_immediately only affects charges that are raised at the time of execution of this API call. Any charges scheduled to be raised in the future are not affected by this parameter.

override_relationship[]

optional, boolean
If true, ignores the hierarchy relationship and uses customer as payment and invoice owner.

changes_scheduled_at[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

Caution

This parameter cannot be set to a future date when the Subscription Ramps feature is enabled; use Create a ramp API instead.

When change_option is set to specific_date, then set the date/time at which the subscription change is to happen or has happened. Note: It is recommended not to pass this parameter along with reactivate_from. changes_scheduled_at can be set to a value in the past. This is called backdating the subscription change and is performed when the subscription change has already been provisioned but its billing has been delayed. Backdating is allowed only when the following prerequisites are met:

Backdating must be enabled for subscription change operations.
Only the following changes can be backdated:

Changes in the recurring items or their prices.
Addition of non-recurring items.

Subscription status is active, cancelled, or non_renewing.
The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating subscription change. This limit is typically the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
The date is on or after current_term_start.
The date is on or after the last date/time any of the following changes were made:

Changes in the recurring items or their prices.
Addition of non-recurring items.

The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the plan in the subscription is 2 months and today is 14th April, changes_scheduled_at cannot be earlier than 14th February.

Note: The changes_scheduled_at parameter does not apply to auto_collection, shipping_address, and po_number; these parameters take effect immediately when scheduling a subscription update.

change_option[]

optional, enumerated string
Specifies the effective date for the subscription change.

Possible values are

immediatelyThe change is carried out immediately.end_of_termThe change is carried out at the end of the current billing cycle of the subscription.specific_dateExecutes the change on a specified date. The change occurs as of the date/time defined in changes_scheduled_at.

Caution

The end_of_term option is unavailable and specific_date cannot be set to a future date when the Subscription Ramps feature is enabled; use Create a ramp API instead.

contract_term_billing_cycle_on_renewal[]

free_period[]

optional, integer, min=1
The period of time by which the first term of the subscription is to be extended free-of-charge. The value must be in multiples of free_period_unit.

free_period_unit[]

optional, enumerated string
The unit of time in multiples of which the free_period parameter is expressed. The value must be equal to or lower than the period_unit attribute of the plan chosen.

Possible values are

dayCharge based on day(s)weekCharge based on week(s)monthCharge based on month(s)yearCharge based on year(s)

create_pending_invoices[]

optional, boolean

You can also set this to true explicitly using the create/update subscription operations. This is useful in the following scenarios:

When tracking usages and calculating usage-based charges on your end. You can then add them to the subscription as a one-time charge at the end of the billing term.
When you need to inspect all charges before closing invoices for this subscription.

Applicable only when Metered Billing is enabled for the site

auto_close_invoices[]

trial_end_action[]

Possible values are

payment_initiator[]

optional, enumerated string
The type of initiator to be used for the payment request triggered by this operation.

Possible values are

customerPass this value to indicate that the request is initiated by the customermerchantPass this value to indicate that the request is initiated by the merchant

invoice_usages[]

This API is used to reactivate a cancelled subscription. You may also optionally specify a trial end date, to move the subscription to In Trial state. If trial end is not specified, the subscription will be activated and any applicable charges will be initiated.

Unless the billing cycle is specified, it will be set to plan's default billing cycle.

During an in-term reactivation⁺⁺, unless the billing cycle is specified, the subscription's remaining billing cycles will be restored. If a trial end date is specified, then the plan's default billing cycle is used.

What is an "in-term reactivation"?
An "in-term reactivation" happens when the billing term of the subscription is retained upon cancellation and reactivation is initiated within that term.

When is the ‘billing term’ retained for a cancelled subscription?
When dunning (payment failure retry settings) is configured with the last retry configured as

cancel subscription and mark invoice as ‘Not Paid’, or
cancel subscription and mark the invoice as ‘Voided’ and the case if any of the current term invoices is partially or fully paid, the invoice is not voided but instead Chargebee marks the invoices as ‘Not Paid’.

Note : In both cases, the billing term is retained and upon reactivation the subscription will be moved to active state (if the plan does not have a trial period) and no invoice will be generated. Ensure that you collect any unpaid invoices.

Example : A Subscription was billed from 1st to 31st of a month and it was cancelled on the 20th due to one of the above cases (billing term is not reset). If the reactivation happens on 25th then it is considered an in-term reactivation.

Notes

Reactivation of a subscription in non_renewing state has been deprecated. To remove a scheduled cancellation of a non_renewing Subscription, use Remove Scheduled Cancellation API.

However, if you use reactivate API to remove scheduled cancellation for a non_renewing Subscription, then the status will be set to active and the billing cycle will be set to forever. If any value is passed for trial_end or billing cycle, an error will be thrown.

If an invoice gets generated during this operation, available Credits and Excess Payments will be automatically applied.

Additional Error Scenarios: If there is a need to create an immediate charge and the collection fails, an error will be thrown.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/reactivate

trial_end[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
Providing this parameter indicates that the subscription reactivates with an in_trial status and the trial period ends at the date provided. The value must not be earlier than reactivate_from. Note: This parameter can be backdated (set to a value in the past) only when reactivate_from has been backdated. Do this to keep a record of when the trial ended in case it ended at some point in the past. When trial_end is backdated, the subscription immediately goes into active or non_renewing status.

billing_cycles[]

optional, integer, min=0
Number of cycles(plan interval) this subscription should be charged. After the billing cycles exhausted, the subscription will be cancelled.

reactivate_from[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The date/time at which the subscription was reactivated. When not provided, the subscription is reactivated immediately on calling this API. The value of this parameter must always be in the past (backdating). Do this when the subscription has already been reactivated and the billing has been delayed. The following prerequisites must be met for this parameter to be passed:

The backdating feature has been enabled for subscription reactivation operations.
The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating such operations. This day is the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the plan in the subscription is 2 months and today is 14th April, reactivate_from cannot be earlier than 14th February.

invoice_immediately[]

Note: invoice_immediately only affects charges that are raised at the time of execution of this API call. Any charges scheduled to be raised in the future are not affected by this parameter.

billing_alignment_mode[]

optional, enumerated string
Applicable when calendar billing is enabled and a new active term gets started during this operation. Unless specified the configured default value will be used.

Possible values are

terms_to_charge[]

invoice_date[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The document date displayed on the invoice PDF. The default value is the current date. Provide this value to backdate the invoice. Backdating an invoice is done for reasons such as booking revenue for a previous date or when the subscription is effective as of a past date. Moreover, if create_pending_invoices is true, and if the site is configured to set invoice dates to the date of closing, then upon invoice closure, this date is changed to the invoice closing date. taxes and line_item_taxes are computed based on the tax configuration as of invoice_date. When passing this parameter, the following prerequisites must be met:

invoice_date must be in the past.
invoice_date is not more than one calendar month into the past. For example, if today is 13th January, then you cannot pass a value that is earlier than 13th December.
It is not earlier than reactivate_from or trial_end.
invoice_immediately is true.

Resource object representing estimate

Creates an advance invoice or an advance invoicing schedule. When an advance invoice is generated, and auto_collection is on for the subscription, the payment_source associated with the subscription is charged. Any changes scheduled for the subscription are taken into account automatically while generating an advance invoice. Advance invoices are not generated for a subscription when it is in the paused status. Advance invoices are generated only for non-metered items in a subscription.

Notes

This operation is supported only on select plans. To know more, take a look at our plans and pricing page.
This operation is not supported for non_renewing and cancelled subscriptions.
This operation is not supported if an advance invoice is already present. You could void/delete that invoice and try creating another advance invoice.
For subscription with ramps, this API will return error for the following scenarios
- If the subscription has more than 12 ramps for the terms being invoiced.
- If schedule_type is specific_dates or fixed_intervals
- If subscription contains ramps scheduled for middle of the subscription term.
This API will return an error when multi-frequency billing is enabled.

Canceling contract terms

Subscriptions with contract terms can only be canceled by terminating the contract term.
When canceling a contract term, the default value for the following parameters is taken from the site settings for contract terms instead of the site settings for subscription cancellation.

credit_option_for_current_term_charges
unbilled_charges_option
account_receivables_handling
refundable_credits_handling

From among the parameters for this request, end_of_term or cancel_at should not be passed when using contract terms; use contract_term_cancel_option instead.
The subscription_items parameter is used to override price or quantity for the termination fee. To use this parameter, the following two conditions must be met:

contract_term_cancel_option must be set to terminate_now.
the subscription must have a subscription_items attribute with charge_on_event set to contract_term_termination.

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/cancel_for_items

cancel_option[]

optional, enumerated string
This attributes determines when the subscription should be cancelled.

Note: If end_of_billing_term is passed, no credits or refunds will be issued upon cancellation.

Possible values are

immediatelyThis is used to cancel the subscription with immediate effectend_of_termThis is used to cancel a subscription at the end of the current billing cyclespecific_dateThis is used to cancel a subscription on a specified date. The change occurs as of the date/time defined in cancel_atend_of_billing_termThis is used to cancel a subscription either at the end of the advance term, if it's billed for future renewals or at the end of its current billing cycle

end_of_term[]

optional, boolean, default=false
Set this to true if you want to cancel the subscription at the end of the current subscription billing cycle. The subscription status changes to non_renewing.

Note: This parameter will soon be deprecated. Use the cancel_option parameter instead.

Set cancel_option as end_of_term to cancel a subscription at the end of the current billing cycle.
Set cancel_option as immediately to cancel the subscription with immediate effect.

cancel_at[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
Specify the date/time at which you want to cancel the subscription. This parameter should not be provided when end_of_term is passed as true. cancel_at can be set to a value in the past. This is called backdating. Use backdating when the subscription has been canceled already but its billing has been delayed. The following prerequisites must be met to allow backdating:

Backdating must be enabled for subscription cancellation.
The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating subscription cancellation. This limit is typically the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
The date is on or after current_term_start.
The date is on or after the last date/time any of the following changes were made:

Changes in the recurring items or their prices.
Addition of non-recurring items.

The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the subscription’s plan is 2 months and today is 14th April, changes_scheduled_at cannot be earlier than 14th February.

credit_option_for_current_term_charges[]

optional, enumerated string
For immediate cancellation (end_of_term = false), specify how to provide credits for current term charges. When not provided, the site default is considered.

Possible values are

noneNo credits notes are created.prorateProrated credits are issued.fullCredits are issues for the full value of the current term charges.

unbilled_charges_option[]

optional, enumerated string
For immediate cancellation (end_of_term = false), specify how to handle any unbilled charges. When not provided, the site default is considered.

Possible values are

invoiceAn invoice is generated immediately with the unbilled charges.deleteThe unbilled charges are deleted.

account_receivables_handling[]

optional, enumerated string
Applicable when the subscription has past due invoices. Specify this if you want to close the due invoices of the subscription. If specified as schedule_payment_collection/write_off, the due invoices of the subscription will be qualified for the selected operation after the remaining refundable credits and excess payments are applied. Note: The payment collection attempt will be asynchronous. Not applicable when 'end_of_term' is true.

Possible values are

no_actionNo action is taken.schedule_payment_collectionAn automatic charge for the due amount of the past invoices will be attempted on the payment method available, if customer's auto-collection property is ‘ON’.write_offThe amount due in the invoices will be written-off. Credit notes created due to write-off will not be sent in the response.

refundable_credits_handling[]

optional, enumerated string
Applicable when the customer has remaining refundable credits(issued against online payments). If specified as schedule_refund, the refund will be initiated for these credits after they are applied against the subscription’s past due invoices if any. Note: The refunds initiated will be asynchronous. Not applicable when 'end_of_term' is true.

Possible values are

no_actionNo action is taken.schedule_refundInitiates refund of the remaining credits.

contract_term_cancel_option[]

optional, enumerated string
Cancels the current contract term.

terminate_immediately immediately does the following:
- sets the contract term status to terminated.
- Cancels the subscription.
- Collects any termination fee.
end_of_contract_term Sets the contract_term[action_at_term_end] to cancel. In other words, the contract term is not renewed and the subscription is canceled at the end of the contract term.

Possible values are

terminate_immediatelyTerminate immediatelyend_of_contract_termEnd of contract term

invoice_date[]

optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
The document date displayed on the invoice PDF. The default value is the current date. Provide this value to backdate the invoice. Backdating an invoice is done for reasons such as booking revenue for a previous date or when the subscription is effective as of a past date. Moreover, if create_pending_invoices is true, and if the site is configured to set invoice dates to date of closing, then upon invoice closure, this date is changed to the invoice closing date. taxes and line_item_taxes are computed based on the tax configuration as of invoice_date. When passing this parameter, the following prerequisites must be met:

invoice_date must be in the past.
invoice_date is not more than one calendar month into the past. For example, if today is 13th January, then you cannot pass a value that is earlier than 13th December.
It is not earlier than cancel_at.

cancel_reason_code[]

subscription_items

Parameters for subscription_items. Multiple subscription_items can be passed by specifying unique indices.
pass parameters as subscription_items[<param name>][<idx:0..n>]

subscription_items[item_price_id][0..n]

optional, string, max chars=100
The unique id of the charge item_price that represents the termination fee.

subscription_items[quantity][0..n]

optional, integer, min=1
The quantity associated with the termination fee. Applicable only when the item_price for the termination charge is quantity-based.

subscription_items[quantity_in_decimal][0..n]

subscription_items[unit_price][0..n]

optional, in cents, min=0
The termination fee. In case it is quantity-based, this is the fee per unit.

subscription_items[unit_price_in_decimal][0..n]

subscription_items[service_period_days][0..n]

optional, integer, min=1, max=730
The service period of the termination fee—expressed in days—starting from the current date.

Note: This operation optionally supports 3DS verification flow. To achieve the same, create the Payment Intent and pass it as input parameter to this API.

This API is used to resume a paused subscription. On resumption the subscription will be activated and any applicable charges will be initiated.

You could schedule the resumption by passing specific_date parameter in resume_option. If scheduled, the subscription will be resumed on the specific_date and moved to Active state.

For in-term resumption, unless there are scheduled changes, unbilled charges will not be charged.

What is an "in-term resumption"?
An “in-term resumption” is when the pause and resumption happens within the billing term of the subscription.

Example : A subscription was billed from 1st to 31st of a month. It was paused on the 20th and resumed before 31st. This is an in-term resumption.

UNPAID INVOICES

Specifying unpaid_invoices allows you to close invoices of the subscription which have amounts due. The invoices are chosen for payment collection after applying the available credits and excess payments.

If specified as schedule_payment_collection, payment collection for the amount due of past invoices will be attempted. The payment method available will be charged if auto-collection is enabled for the customer, and appropriate payment collection(payment succeeded or payment failed) events will be triggered. If the payment collection fails, no further retries will be made on the invoices.

Note: If the invoices of the subscription are consolidated, and any of the subscriptions in the consolidated invoice are cancelled, these invoices will not be selected for collection.

Warning

This API will return an error when multi-frequency billing is enabled.

Moves a subscription from one customer to another asynchronously. All related resources such as unbilled_charge, invoice, credit_note, and transaction are also moved to the new customer.

After moving, Chargebee adds a comment to the original customer resource to document the move, including the to_customer_id and the ids of all the resources transferred to the destination customer.

Warning

If auto_collection is on, it might fail after this operation. Refer to the warning in copy_payment_source for details.
During the time that it takes for the operation to complete, no modifications are allowed on the source customer, the destination customer, and the subscription.
After moving a subscription, the change does not reflect in Chargebee Billing's accounting integrations or in Chargebee RevRec.
This API will return an error when multi-frequency billing is enabled.

Prerequisites

The subscription should not be part of a customer resource that is within an account hierarchy relationship.
There must be no invoices with the statuses payment_due, pending, or posted associated with the subscription.
The site must have consolidated invoicing disabled.
There should be no consolidated invoices linked to the subscription.
No credit_note resources with the statuses adjusted or refund_due should be associated with the subscription.
The site must have multi business entity disabled.

Asynchronous operation

If the above prerequisites are met, the API call returns a 200 OK response containing the subscription resource as is. However, the actual move operation can take up to five minutes to complete.

To know whether the operation was successful, we recommend that you watch for the subscription_changed event and see if subscription.customer_id has changed.

Limitations

Subscriptions cannot be moved on the same calendar day as their renewal. For instance, if a renewal is scheduled for 2 PM on April 10, 2024, the endpoint is restricted from 12 AM on April 10, 2024, until the renewal is completed.
After moving a subscription, the change does not reflect in Chargebee Billing's accounting integrations or in Chargebee RevRec.

Note: Resources linked to the original customer such as unbilled_charge, invoice, credit_note, and transaction but not linked to the subscription being moved, are not moved to the destination customer by this operation.

This API is not enabled for live sites by default. Please contact support to get this enabled.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/move

to_customer_id[]

required, string, max chars=50

Specifies the unique ID of the customer resource to which the subscription will be moved.

Note: If there are multiple business entities, the customer.business_entity_id of the destination customer must match the subscription.business_entity_id.

copy_payment_source[]

optional, boolean, default=false

When true:

If the subscription has an associated payment_source:

A new duplicate copy of the payment_source resource is created.
This new copy of the payment source is linked to the subscription and the destination customer.

Note: Deleting any copy of the payment_source also deletes the other copies and the details stored at the payment gateway.

When false:

No new payment source is created for the subscription. Moreover, if a payment_source is already linked to the subscription, it gets removed, meaning the subscription.payment_source_id is cleared.

Warning: When copy_payment_source is false and if subscription.auto_collection is enabled, auto-collection will fail, in turn preventing subscription renewal. To prevent auto-collection failure, link a payment source to the subscription after this operation.
