ChargebeeAPI

Checkout new subscription

Idempotency Supported

Hosted page to accept card details from the subscriber and create a new subscription. This is similar to our server to server API Create a Subscription.

When the redirect URL is notified of the result, we would advise you to retrieve the subscription and verify the details.

As mentioned before this behavior is very similar to the create subscription API call. All the web hook events will be fired only after the submission of payment details by the customer and successful creation of subscription. Any errors related to the payment form that is submitted is handled as a response within the form so that the user is kept informed about the reason for failure to take corrective action.

Sample Request

URL Format

POST https://[site].chargebee.com/api/v1/hosted_pages/checkout_new

Input Parameters

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.

redirect_url
optional, string, max chars=250

The customers will be redirected to this URL upon successful checkout. The hosted page id and state will be passed as parameters to this URL. Although the customer will be redirected to the redirect_url after successful checkout, we do not recommend relying on it for completing critical post-checkout actions. This is because redirection may not happen due to unforeseen reasons. Chargebee recommends listening to appropriate webhooks such as subscription_created

or invoice_generated to verify a successful checkout.

Note : - Redirect URL configured in Settings > Hosted Pages Settings would be overriden by this redirect URL.
Eg : http://yoursite.com?id=&state=succeeded

  • This parameter is not applicable for iframe messaging.
cancel_url
optional, string, max chars=250

The customers will be redirected to this URL upon canceling checkout. The hosted page id and state will be passed as parameters to this URL.

pass_thru_content
optional, string, max chars=2048

You can pass through any content specific to the hosted page request and get it back after user had submitted the hosted page.
