Overview

Use the setSubscriptionGracePeriod method to set a custom grace period for an Active or Past Due subscription. This method changes per-subscription end-user data and not customer details.

Parameters

Parameters Type/Description

sessionID

Required (string)

 

Session identifier, the output of the Login method. Include sessionID into all your requests. 2Checkout throws an exception if the values are incorrect.  The sessionID expires in 10 minutes.

SubscriptionReference

Required (string)

 

Unique, system-generated subscription identifier. Needs to belong to an Active or Past Due subscription.

SubscriptionGracePeriod

Required (int)

 

The number of days for the grace period, during which time, customers can still renew/upgrade expired subscriptions. During the grace period, subscriptions feature the Past Due status.

 

Can be NULL. When NULL, the grace period for a subscription is the same as that you defined in the per-product or per-account grace period settings. You can use this to set a custom grace period for a subscription.

 

Can be sent with value 0.

To reset the grace period back to product/account default value, send the parameter empty (with no value).

Response

Boolean

true or false depending on whether the changes were successful or not.
