Name Type Required Description
discounts Object No

Parameters for discounts

discounts.apply_on[] Array No
discounts.included_in_mrr[] Array No

The discount is included in MRR calculations for your site. This attribute is only applicable when duration_type is one_time and when the feature is enabled in Chargebee. Also, If the site-level setting is to exclude one-time discounts from MRR calculations, this value is always returned false.

The id of the discount to be removed. This parameter is only relevant when discounts[operation_type] is remove.

discounts.period_unit[] Array No
discounts.operation_type[] Array Yes
discounts.percentage[] Array No

The percentage of the original amount that should be deducted from it.

discounts.period[] Array No

The duration of time for which the discount is attached to the subscription, in period_units. Applicable only when duration_type is limited_period.

The id of the item price in the subscription to which the discount is to be applied. Relevant only when apply_on = specific_item_price.

end_of_term Boolean No

Caution

Default value: false

force_term_reset Boolean No

Say the subscription has the renewal date as 28th of every month.

In other words, the subscription still renews on the 28th. Passing this parameter as true will have the subscription reset its term to the current date (provided end_of_term is false).
Note: When the new plan-item price has a billing period different from the current plan-item price of the subscription, the term is always reset, regardless of the value passed for this parameter.

Also, it is only allowed when price overriding is enabled for the site. The value depends on the type of currency.

  • When false: The subscription is changed without creating any credits or charges.

Caveat

For further changes within the same billing term, when prorate is set to true, credits are not created when all the conditions below hold true:

An immediate previous change was made

  • with prorate set to false and
  • no changes were made to the subscription's billing term and
  • a change was made to either the subscription's items or their prices.

changes_scheduled_at Integer No

Caution

This parameter cannot be set to a future date when the Subscription Ramps feature is enabled; use Create a ramp API instead. When change_option is set to specific_date, then set the date/time at which the subscription change is to happen or has happened. Note: It is recommended not to pass this parameter along with reactivate_from. changes_scheduled_at can be set to a value in the past. This is called backdating the subscription change and is performed when the subscription change has already been provisioned but its billing has been delayed.

  • Only the following changes can be backdated:
    • Changes in the recurring items or their prices.
    • Addition of non-recurring items.
  • Subscription status is active, cancelled, or non_renewing.
  • The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating subscription change. This limit is typically the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
  • The date is on or after current_term_start.
  • The date is on or after the last date/time any of the following changes were made:
    • Changes in the recurring items or their prices.
    • Addition of non-recurring items.
  • The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the plan in the subscription is 2 months and today is 14th April, changes_scheduled_at cannot be earlier than 14th February.

.
Note: The changes_scheduled_at parameter does not apply to auto_collection, shipping_address, and po_number; these parameters take effect immediately when scheduling a subscription update.

auto_collection String No

Defines whether payments need to be collected automatically for this subscription. Overrides customer's auto-collection property. * on - Whenever an invoice is created for this subscription, an automatic charge will be attempted on the payment method available. * off - Automatic collection of charges will not be made for this subscription.

Note: It is recommended not to pass this parameter along with changed_scheduled_at. reactivate_from can be backdated (set to a value in the past). Use backdating when the subscription has been reactivated already but its billing has been delayed. Backdating is allowed only when the following prerequisites are met:

  • Backdating must be enabled for subscription reactivation operations.
  • The current day of the month does not exceed the limit set in Chargebee for backdating subscription change. This limit is the day of the month by which the accounting for the previous month must be closed.
  • The date is on or after the last date/time any of the product catalog items of the subscription were changed.
  • The date is not more than duration X into the past where X is the billing period of the plan. For example, if the period of the plan in the subscription is 2 months and today is 14th April, changes_scheduled_at cannot be earlier than 14th February. .
