Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I talked with the team, and you should be able to use an order to create a subscription payment link. However, you will need to add line_items so that the initial phase of the subscription plan can be paid. For example:
{
"idempotencyKey": "{{idempotency_key}}",
"checkoutOptions": {
"subscriptionPlanId": "{{subscription_id}}"
},
"order": {
"location_id": "{{location_id}}",
"line_items": [
{
"name": "Subscription Fee",
"quantity": "1",
"base_price_money": {
"amount": 100,
"currency": "USD"
}
}
]
}
}
The team’s working on adding in some stricter validation so that the endpoint will actually return an error instead of responding with a non-functional checkout. Thanks for flagging this!
