Renew a prepayment subscription

Learn how to renew a prepayment subscription for a customer using the Zuora UI or REST API, including considerations for billing and credit options.

After you have created a prepayment subscription through Orders, you can renew the subscription for your customer.

Example

Suppose your customer has subscribed to the following charges for 12 months from 2022-01-01 to 2022-12-31:

Product: API Calls Prepayment Service

Product rate plan: API Calls Monthly Prepayment Plan

Prepayment charge

Drawdown charge

  • Charge name: Monthly Plan

  • Charge type: Recurring

  • Charge model: Flat Fee

  • List price: $20/Billing period

After a while, your customer wants to renew the subscription for another 12 months from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31. You can do this for your customer through the Zuora UI or the REST API.
