POST /subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resume

Note: This operation optionally supports 3DS verification flow. To achieve the same, create the Payment Intent and pass it as input parameter to this API.

This API is used to resume a paused subscription. On resumption the subscription will be activated and any applicable charges will be initiated.

You could schedule the resumption by passing specific_date parameter in resume_option. If scheduled, the subscription will be resumed on the specific_date and moved to Active state.

For in-term resumption, unless there are scheduled changes, unbilled charges will not be charged.

What is an "in-term resumption"?
An "in-term resumption" is when the pause and resumption happens within the billing term of the subscription.

Example : A subscription was billed from 1st to 31st of a month. It was paused on the 20th and resumed before 31st. This is an in-term resumption.

UNPAID INVOICES

Specifying unpaid_invoices allows you to close invoices of the subscription which have amounts due. The invoices are chosen for payment collection after applying the available credits and excess payments.

If specified as schedule_payment_collection, payment collection for the amount due of past invoices will be attempted. The payment method available will be charged if auto-collection is enabled for the customer, and appropriate payment collection(payment succeeded or payment failed) events will be triggered. If the payment collection fails, no further retries will be made on the invoices.

Note: If the invoices of the subscription are consolidated, and any of the subscriptions in the consolidated invoice are cancelled, these invoices will not be selected for collection.
Warning

This API will return an error when multi-frequency billing is enabled.
