REST api to create subscription with draft status

[vu_phan]

Here is another example of creating a draft subscription via REST / CRUD API.

POST https://rest.zuora.com/v1/action/subscribe

{
  "subscribes": [{
    "Account": {
      "Id": "2c92a0fb4f2b5e17014f2d370646466d"
    },
    "SubscribeOptions": {
      "GenerateInvoice": false,
      "ProcessPayments": false
    },
    "SubscriptionData": {
      "Subscription": {
        "RenewalTerm": 12,
        "TermType": "TERMED",
        "IsInvoiceSeparate": false,
        "InitialTerm": 12,
        "AutoRenew": false
      },
      "RatePlanData": [{
        "RatePlan": {
          "ProductRatePlanId": "4028e487343ac85101343f605cff1512"
        },
        "RatePlanChargeData": [{
          "RatePlanCharge": {
            "ProductRatePlanChargeId": "4028e48833fd603f01343f60b822245b",
            "Price": "70"
          }
        }]
      }]
    }
  }]
}

Hello,

I am also concerned about a way to create a Subscription in Draft status (i.e. without Contract Effective Date) with REST apis.

Is it planned to allow doing this with the Create Subscription call ? (https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-reference/#operation/POST_Subscription)

I know it is currently possible to do so using the Subscribe call but I would prefer using the Create Subscription as JSON structure is way closer to what we can also get with the Get Subscriptions by Key call (https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-reference/#operation/GET_SubscriptionsByKey).

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Sgaestel , I have good news for you! There is a REST equivalent of the Subscribe call, the /action/subscribe call! It's basically the same Subscribe feature, but using the JSON format.

You can find more information on: https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-reference/#operation/Action_POSTsubscribe

Hope this helps!

Hello @Viktor.

I already saw that, but the JSON structure is way more clear in the Create Subscription API than the Subscribe one as I only need to create a subscription...

Thanks anyway

This is now supported.
