Subscriptions

Subscriptions store customer details by using a Token Management Service (TMS) token. You must have an assigned payment plan. Subscriptions consist of this information:

Subscription code

Subscription name

Start date

TMS token

Plan: standard or one-time

(Optional) Merchant Reference Number: the specified value will be used as the merchant reference number for all subscription payments. If no value is provided, the system will automatically generate a random number for each subsequent payment.

Subscriptions can be updated, activated, suspended, or canceled.
