Update Subscription

put https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/recurring/subscriptions/

The Update Subscription request enables you to change any of the following settings for an existing subscription:

  • Plan associated to the subscription
  • Payment source
  • Override value for the recurring charge amount
  • Auto-renew setting (if you set it to false, the subscription expires at the end of the current period)
  • Next charge date
  • Quantity
  • Subscription status (ACTIVE/CANCELED)

Note: If you are using BlueSnap's tax feature, make sure to update the recurringTaxReference parameter if you update the subscriptions' plan or recurringChargeAmount.

For more information about working with subscriptions, see the Subscriptions tutorial.

📘

Updating Payment Source

To change the payment source associated with a subscription:

  1. Make sure the payment details are saved to the shopper. If not, update the vaulted shopper with the details.
  2. Update the subscription to specify the new payment source.

Please keep in mind that we do not currently support these scenarios when it comes to updating your payment source:

  • Updating from a credit card to a wallet (Apple Pay or Google Pay)
  • Updating the credit card within your wallet

📘

Switch contract separately from other changes

If you are switching the contract associated with the subscription, we recommend you do this in a separate API call from other changes, such as updating the payment source or overriding the recurring charge amount.

For example if you want to switch a subscription from plan 1 to plan 2 and also override the recurring charge amount for plan 2, we recommend that you first make an Update Subscription call to change the plan. Then make a separate call to override the recurring charge amount.
