Create a plan


Create a plan

POST / v1 / plans

You can now model subscriptions more flexibly using the Prices API. It replaces the Plans API and is backwards compatible to simplify your migration.

Parameters

  • currency enum Required Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Must be a supported currency.
  • interval enum Required Specifies billing frequency. Either day, week, month or year. Possible enum values day month week year
  • product object Required The product whose pricing the created plan will represent. This can either be the ID of an existing product, or a dictionary containing fields used to create a service product.
  • active boolean Whether the plan is currently available for new subscriptions. Defaults to true.
  • amount integer Required unless billing_scheme=tiered A positive integer in the smallest currency unit (or 0 for a free plan) representing how much to charge on a recurring basis.
  • metadata map Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.
  • nickname string A brief description of the plan, hidden from customers.
