Steps

  1. Pause a subscription with POST /api/v2/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/pause; set pause_option=immediately for instant pause or pause_option=end_of_term to pause at the next renewal
  2. Optionally supply unbilled_charges_handling=invoice to settle outstanding charges at pause time, or unbilled_charges_handling=delete to discard them
  3. Confirm the subscription's status field changes to paused and that pause_date is set in the response object
  4. Resume the subscription with POST /api/v2/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resume; use resume_option=immediately or resume_option=specific_date with resume_date (Unix timestamp) for scheduled resumption
  5. Listen for subscription_resumed webhook to update entitlements and notify downstream services
  6. If the subscription was paused with outstanding charges deleted, verify no residual credit notes exist via GET /api/v2/credit_notes?subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID
