[POST] Modify Subscription Expiration Date (AR/PMR)
Request Description
POST /v1/subscription/modify_expiration_dateThe request allows you to modify current expiration dates of subscriptions (AR/PMR).
NOTE: The request affects only one subscription of one individual customer. The product expiration date remains unchanged.
After applying the update to a subscription, the system automatically recalculates the remaining related upcoming event dates of the subscription (renewal reminder date / child order creation date, renewal payment date, etc.).
More details on:
- How to calculate core dates for auto-renewable subscriptions (AR) and recalculate when changing dates.
- How to calculate core dates for pre-filled manual renewals (PMR). The rules for calculating the date change are the same as for AR subscriptions. However, the calculation timescales related to the subscription expiration date are different.
Please contact our support team if you need help in changing the dates.
You can change the date if:
- The status of a subscription is active. Otherwise, if a renewal order has been created and is pending payment (subscription status is not_paid), or the subscription is cancelled (subscription status is cancelled), you cannot update its current expiration date. You can find out current statuses of subscriptions through the request used for getting subscription data.
- If you want to shorten the subscription expiration date, the new subscription expiration date must comply with some requirements. They are necessary to provide enough time for creation of a renewal order after the system recalculates the rest of the dates.
If you want to change a date to test how a subscription works, you can contact our support team to instantly initiate creation of a renewal order and its payment.
