Subscribe Call on an Existing Account
This reference explains how the payment method is determined in a subscribe call when using an existing account, highlighting the roles of subscription and invoice owner accounts.
Suppose you do not specify the Hosted Payment Method page's payment method in the
subscribe()
call. If you use an existing account and specify the electronic payment method in the
subscribe()
call, the electronic payment method is used to pay invoices regardless of the default payment method. Also, if the invoice owner account is specified in the
subscribe()
call, the 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.
