Problem:
We are trying to use this call https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-reference/#operation/POST_Subscription to create a Zuora account and subscription without creating payment method but we are running into an error ""To collect payment, the customer account must have a default payment method."
This is our payload:
array (
'autoRenew' => true,
'termType' => 'TERMED',
'initialTerm' => '12',
'renewalTerm' => '12',
'contractEffectiveDate' => '2019-03-01',
'serviceActivationDate' => '2019-03-01',
'customerAcceptanceDate' => '2019-03-01',
'termStartDate' => '2019-03-01',
'subscribeToRatePlans' =>
array (

array (
'chargeOverrides' =>

array (
'productRatePlanChargeId' => '2c92c03b67caedb40s67dcc8a30c1c38',
'price' => '1080',
'listPriceBase' => 'Per_Billing_Period',
'billingPeriod' => 'Annual',
'quantity' => 1,
),
),
'productRatePlanId' => '2c92c0fb6scaedb00127dcc8d2e71f36',
),
),
'accountKey' => '83576629',
'runBilling' => true,
'invoiceOwnerAccountKey' => NULL,
'targetDate' => '2019-03-01',
)
Solution:
We have another type of call called subsribe() that is solely for this purpose. With this call you can:
This is a combined call that you can use to perform all of the following tasks in a single call:
Create accounts
Create contacts
Create payment methods, including external payment options
Create an invoice for the subscription
Apply the first payment to a subscription

In the below example is a subscribe call that creates the account, subscription, and invoice without the payment method.
