Bundles

• We use dynamic bundles and we have 4 different weeks that allow customers to select different items from each week. Now the issue is, our items change each week for the next month and we want an option that allows the user to update their current subscription items. Is it possible to edit any existing subscription using SDK API/method so that existing subscription will continue to work with new updated items and price updates too?
  • First step: determine which bundle selection is associated with certain subscription id. Use listBundleSelections endpoint with purchase_item_ids? Query param.
  • Second step: Use updateBundleSelection in order to change the bundle_selection.items.

Customers

• How do I use Cancellation Prevention in a custom customer portal?
  • You can add a link to the action button when customers want to cancel that directs them to the Active Churn landing page. See getActiveChurnLandingPageURL

Subscriptions

• I am using updateSubscriptionChargeDate endpoint in order to reschedule the charge date. There are more than a few subscriptions included in the single charge. However at some point, I am getting 409 errors. Is there a better approach?
  • Updating all subscriptions in one call using the bulk route is always better. See updateSubscriptions
• I am attempting to change subscription frequencies using the SDK using updateSubscription. However I am getting a Not allowed to update the frequencies. error.
  • We honor the customer portal settings from the merchant-admin. To change frequencies via SDK, Customer can choose any frequency should be checked.
