Recurring Billing: Create a Subscription

seeraig — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 05:06:32 GMT

Hi,

How do I get the response to include the profile information like in the example?

Are there specific fields that are required for it to return the profile info? In my response back I am only getting the SubscriptionID back.

Hello,

Can you please provide a sample request for your subscription?

I should have asked for the response as well. Could you include that as well?

@seeraig

I was able to speak with our product team who confirmed that we did not update our SOAP interface to support this method. We strongly suggest moving to XML or JSON as we plan to deprecate SOAP support. We'll post an announcement once deprecation plans are firm.

Thanks for the update, that was the issue. I switched to XML and it works.
