Payment Method Used in the Subscribe SOAP API Call

Subscribe Call on a New Account

Learn how the default payment method is determined in a subscribe() call when creating a new account, and how it affects invoice payments.

Suppose you do not specify the Hosted Payment Method page's payment method in the subscribe() call. If you create an account in the subscribe() call, the default payment method is used to pay invoices. It does not matter whether the electronic payment method is specified or not. If the invoice owner account is specified in the subscribe() call, the default payment method of the invoice owner account is used regardless of the subscription owner account.

The following table shows what payment method and customer account are applied to invoice payment.
