Creating a Subscription

This functionality is available only upon approval by the Security Department. To enable subscriptions, please contact our support team.

A subscription allows you to automatically charge a client’s card without their direct involvement. This is useful for recurring payments, such as:

• rent,

• internet access,

• mobile phone top-ups,

• other periodic services.

Currently, subscriptions are supported only for the card payment method.

Step 1: Create an initial (setup) payment

To bind the client’s card to a subscription, pass the subscription parameter when initiating the payment:

• For hosted form: subscription=true

• For API request: params[subscription]=true

📌 It’s strongly recommended to also pass hideOtherMethods=true to ensure the subscription is initialized specifically via the card method.

Step 2: Receive the subscription ID

After the initial payment is completed, your payment handler will receive the following parameter:

subscriptionId = <value>

Store this ID — it will be required for future recurring charges.

Step 3: Trigger recurring charge

To initiate an auto-charge:

• Ensure the subscription status is active

• Use the standard API method to create a payment

• Pass the subscription ID via:

[subscriptionId]=<value>

The amount and charge interval are fully managed on your side.

Subscriptions are not compatible with two-stage (preauthorization) payments.
