Best way to have auto-renewal recurring payments

Thank for the response and advice. Fortunately, I had already started working on that same approach. I did stumble for awhile because your current SubscriptionPlan → PaymentLink documentation doesn’t say anything about SubscriptionPlanVariation needing to be created. Anyways, I eventually got there and have successfully created a Payment Link for a SubscriptionPlan.

Follow-up questions:

  1. The documentation and checkout page says that the SP CreatePayment link would automatically create a Customer and a recurring Subscription. I am assuming since I already had my Sandbox account customer that it did not create a new one…but not sure. However, I did at minimum expect it to create a recurring subscription for that customer. That was the whole point of the payment link. I do see a Payment processed under Payments though, just no resulting subscription.

I do not see any new Suscription or Customer created:

In your response above, you say that the Customer needs to already exist. Which one is it?

Thanks for your continued help.
