Subscriptions

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 discount coupons applied.

The charges in a subscription are billed via invoices.

    Change term end

    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.

    URL Format POST

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

    Input Parameters

    term_ends_at
    The time at which the current term should end for this subscription.
    required, timestamp(UTC) in seconds
    prorate
    Applicable for active / non_renewing subscriptions. If specified as true prorated charges / credits will be added during this operation.
    optional, boolean

    If there are charges raised immediately for the subscription, this parameter specifies whether those charges are to be invoiced immediately or added to unbilled charges. The default value is as per the site settings.
    optional, boolean

    Reactivate a subscription

    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.

    Charge Future Renewals

    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.

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.

    Canceling contract terms

    • Subscriptions with contract terms can only be canceled by  terminating the contract term.

      • credit_option_for_current_term_charges
      • unbilled_charges_option
      • account_receivables_handling
      • refundable_credits_handling

      • 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.

    Resume a subscription

    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.
