Update a subscription's price

• Sandbox: PATCH https://sandbox.payme.io/api/subscriptions/{sub_payme_id}/set-price
• Production: PATCH https://live.payme.io/api/subscriptions/{sub_payme_id}/set-price

Credentials

• Request body field seller_payme_id (required): The seller's MPL. You can send it in the PayMe-Merchant-Key header instead.
• Request body field payme_client_key (optional): Partners only: your partner key. You can send it in the PayMe-Partner-Key header instead. A seller authenticates with seller_payme_id alone.

Overview

Changes the price of future iterations. The call charges nothing and doesn't change sub_next_date, sub_start_date, sub_prev_date, the iteration counters or the status. The billing day stays anchored to sub_start_date.

You can update:

• an active subscription (status 2);
• a template (sub_type 10) in status 1: buyers who pay the link after the change get the new price, and subscriptions already created from it keep theirs;
• a subscription in status 1 whose sub_start_date is still in the future.

Any other subscription returns error 377 (HTTP 400).

If the price changed and the subscription has a buyer email, PayMe emails the buyer about the new price, subject to the seller's email settings.

There is no proration: for a mid-cycle upgrade, charge the difference once with generate-sale and the subscription's buyer_key, then call this endpoint. Don't cancel and re-create the subscription: that resets sub_start_date and the counters.

Example: PATCH https://sandbox.payme.io/api/subscriptions/SUB16885-68336QPL-UQSSS1CC-SYKXI53N/set-price. More: Saved cards & recurring.

Authentication

Send seller_payme_id (the seller's MPL) in the JSON body or the PayMe-Merchant-Key header. Partners also send payme_client_key, in the body or the PayMe-Partner-Key header. The subscription must belong to the seller (error 370).

Errors

Errors return status_code 1 with HTTP 500 unless the table says otherwise.
