Code example for creating a subscription:
$subscription = $client->subscriptions()->create([
"params" => [
"amount" => 1500,
"currency" => "GBP",
"interval_unit" => "monthly",
"day_of_month" => "5",
"links" => [
"mandate" => "MD0000XH9A3T4C"
],
"metadata" => [
"subscription_number" => "ABC1234"
]
],
"headers" => [
"Idempotency-Key" => "random_subscription_specific_string"
]
]);subscription = client.subscriptions.create(
params={
"amount" : 1500,
"currency" : "GBP",
"interval_unit" : "monthly",
"day_of_month" : "5",
