Charge/CreateSubscription Web Service

The Charge/CreateSubscription REST Web Service allows to make recurring payments using an existing and valid token.

A token is also referred to as payment token.

When the Charge/CreateSubscription REST Web Service is called, the payment gateway starts automatically creating and capturing transactions.

Frequent errors when creating recurring payments:

• The provided token does not exist, is disabled or terminated.
• The effective date of the recurring payment has passed.

This web service also allows you to create recurring SEPA direct debits.

To do this, you must transmit the unique mandate reference (UMR) in the paymentMethodToken field.
