Activating a Plan

You can activate a plan that has a draft or inactive status and that has never been assigned to any subscriptions.

Follow these steps to activate a plan:

In the endpoint path, include the plan ID that you received when you retrieved a list of plans.

Send the request to the Recurring Billing endpoint:

Production:

POST https://api.cybersource.com/rbs/v1/plans/{id}/activate

Test:

POST https://apitest.cybersource.test.com/rbs/v1/plans/{id}/activate

Check the response message to make sure that the request was successful. A 200-level HTTP response code indicates success.

For information about response codes, see
