Plans
Create and maintain reusable billing plans that power recurring payment flows.
Endpoints
5 endpoints in this collection.
Authentication
Review each endpoint for its auth requirement before implementation.
What this section covers
- Provision fixed or recurring plans for subscription products.
- Update pricing or status for an existing plan.
- Support internal billing operations and plan management tools.
Method mix
Create the plan with the amount, interval, and supporting business metadata.
Use plan identifiers when provisioning subscriptions or payment experiences.
Update or deactivate plans carefully to avoid affecting active customers unexpectedly.
Prerequisites
- Confirm the business process in your application that should trigger plans operations.
- Identify the required IDs, credentials, and payload fields before wiring this collection into production flows.
- Decide where you will store returned references so later lookups and support actions can be linked correctly.
Implementation Checklist
- Validate required inputs on your backend before the API call is sent.
- Persist important references returned by the API for future lookups and reconciliation.
- Add clear error handling, logging, and retry rules around production requests.
Success Signals
- The core workflow completes without operators needing to inspect raw API traffic manually.
- Returned references are available in your internal tools for support and reconciliation.
- Failures can be investigated quickly because request context is logged consistently.
Common Pitfalls
- Sending production calls before validating inputs and required identifiers in your own application.
- Not storing returned references, which makes later lookups and support actions harder.
- Treating API success as the only state that matters instead of designing for failures and retries too.
Operational Notes
- Keep sensitive API calls in backend-only services where credentials and audit rules are easier to control.
- Document who in your team owns failed requests, retries, and customer-facing follow-up actions.
- Use request and response metadata to improve support tooling instead of relying on raw logs alone.
Each endpoint below links to a fuller implementation guide with request structure, code examples, and response notes.
Python
Use shared client helpers so auth, retries, and response parsing remain consistent across backend jobs and services.
Node.js
Keep sensitive operations in server-side modules and expose a higher-level integration service to the rest of the app.
PHP
Wrap request formatting and error handling in one reusable Paymish client so controllers stay thin.
cURL
Use cURL as a debugging aid to understand request and response shape before translating the flow into production service code.
