Resource object representing card.
optional

Resource object representing credit_note.

Note: Cannot be called when the subscription is on a contract term. (That is, when the contract_term.status attribute is active.)

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.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/update_for_items

mandatory_items_to_remove[0..n]

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

replace_items_list

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.
optional, boolean

invoice_date

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

start_date

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

trial_end

The time at which the trial has ended or will end for the subscription. This is only allowed when the subscription status is future, in_trial, or cancelled. Also, the value must not be earlier than changes_scheduled_at or start_date. Note: 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.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

billing_cycles

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

terms_to_charge

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.
optional, integer, min=1

reactivate_from

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

billing_alignment_mode

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

Possible values are

auto_collection

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

Possible values are

offline_payment_method

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

Possible values are

no_preferenceNo Preference.cashCash.checkCheck.bank_transferBank Transfer.ach_creditACH Credit.sepa_creditSEPA Credit.

po_number

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

coupon_ids[0..n]

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.
optional, list of string

replace_coupon_list

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.
optional, boolean

prorate

Raise prorated credits or charges as applicable while changing the subscription. When not provided, the value is taken from the site settings.
optional, boolean

end_of_term

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

force_term_reset

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.
optional, boolean, default=false

reactivate

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.
optional, boolean

token_id

optional, jsonobject

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.

.
optional, boolean

override_relationship

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

changes_scheduled_at

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

change_option

When the quote is converted, this attribute determines the date/time as of when the subscription change is to be carried out.
optional, enumerated string

optional, integer, min=1

free_period_unit

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.
optional, enumerated string

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

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

Changes the subscription's current term end date. Depending on the "status" of the subscription, "term end date" has different effects.

If the Subscription is in trial, it affects trial end date.
If the Subscription is active, it affects the next billing date.
If the Subscription's status is non_renewing, this affects the upcoming cancellation date.

Tip: To cycle through a couple of billing cycles and test webhooks, you may use this API.

Notes

When changing the term_end for active / non_renewing subscriptions, by default no additional charges (when term gets extended) will be added or credits (when term gets reduced) will be issued. However you can specify prorate param as true for adding prorated charges / issuing prorated credits. Further for the charges that got added, you can specify invoice_immediately as false to add them to unbilled charges and invoice them later.
Advance charges, if any will be credited back during this operation.

This operation 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 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

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.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

billing_cycles

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

reactivate_from

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

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.

.
optional, boolean

billing_alignment_mode

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.
optional, enumerated string

Possible values are

terms_to_charge

invoice_date

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

checkout_com: While adding a new payment method using permanent token or passing raw card details to Checkout.com, document ID and country_of_residence are required to support payments through dLocal.
- payer: User related information.
  - country_of_residence: This is required since the billing country associated with the user’s payment method may not be the same as their country of residence. Hence the user’s country of residence needs to be specified. The country code should be a two-character ISO code.
  - document: Document ID is the user’s identification number based on their country.
bluesnap: While passing raw card details to BlueSnap, if fraud_session_id is added, additional validation is performed to avoid fraudulent transactions.
- fraud: Fraud identification related information.
  - fraud_session_id: Your BlueSnap fraud session ID required to perform anti-fraud validation.

Resource object representing card.
optional

Pausing a subscription will move the subscription from its current state to Paused state, and will stop all recurring actions.

You could schedule the pause by passing specific_date/end_of_term parameter in pause_option. If scheduled, the subscription will not be paused until the specific_date/end_of_term is reached.

UNBILLED CHARGES

Any unbilled charges present in the subscription can be invoiced by specifying invoice or no_action. If invoice is chosen, automatic charge will be attempted on the payment method available if the customer has enabled auto-collection. If payment collection fails or when auto-collection is not enabled, the invoice will be closed as unpaid.
If no_action is chosen, charges will be added to the resumption invoice.

INVOICE DUNNING HANDLING

If invoice is in the dunning cycle, invoice_dunning_handing allows you to stop or continue dunning.

Note:

Applicable only for active/non-renewing subscriptions.
For non-renewing subscriptions, pause_date and resume_date should be before the cancellation date. If paused indefinitely, the subscription will be cancelled on the cancelled_at date.
Advance charges, if any, will be refunded as credits.

Cancels the subscription.

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.

URL Format POST

https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/cancel_for_items

end_of_term

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.
optional, boolean, default=false

cancel_at

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

credit_option_for_current_term_charges

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

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

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

Possible values are

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

account_receivables_handling

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.
optional, enumerated string

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

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.
optional, enumerated string

Possible values are

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

contract_term_cancel_option

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.

.
optional, enumerated string

Possible values are

terminate_immediatelyTerminate immediately.end_of_contract_termEnd of contract term.

invoice_date

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.

.
optional, timestamp(UTC) in seconds

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]

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

subscription_items[quantity][0..n]

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

subscription_items[quantity_in_decimal][0..n]

The decimal representation of the quantity of the item purchased. Can be provided for quantity-based item prices and only when multi-decimal pricing is enabled.
optional, string, max chars=33

subscription_items[unit_price][0..n]

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

subscription_items[unit_price_in_decimal][0..n]

subscription_items[service_period_days][0..n]

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

This operation 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.
