Subscriptions

A subscription is a resource used to periodically charge a customer. It is created using a transaction token specifically requested for subscription use. Subscriptions can only be created if your account is verified.

Subscription billing will be charged at the interval specified at the time of creation. They can be canceled at any time.
The merchant can set the interval and number of retries for failed subscription payments, and if the payment fails a set number of consecutive times, the recurring billing will be stopped.

A charge is created immediately upon creating a subscription.

It is recommended to use webhooks to be alerted of subscriptions events. The SUBSCRIPTION_PAYMENT event will notify you when a successful payment has been made. The SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED event will notify failed payments for a subscription. The SUBSCRIPTION_CANCELED event will notify you when a subscription has been canceled.

It is possible to update the payment information for a subscription by updating it with a new transaction token.
