Hi All
I've created a of Billing Plan using the REST Api, it's a 12 month subscription for $30 that renews infinitely. For the first year I want to sell the subscription at a slightly reduced cost for $24 as a trial period. Will the trial period be charged and subscribed to first? After the trial, will the plan automatically move to the regular 12 month subscription and auto-bill the user infinitely for the standard price of $30? (Note, I have set cycles to 0 for the regular payment definition, but to 1 for the trial definition.
Below is an example of the fields I have set for the payment definitions in the JSON body I used to create the plan, please tell me if I have gotten anything wrong for the scenario I want, thanks.
For the plan, I set the type to "INFINITE".
Payment Definitions:
Regular definition:
"name": "Regular payment definition",
"type": "REGULAR",
"frequency": "MONTH",
"frequency_interval": "12",
"amount":
"value": "30",
"currency": "NZD"
"cycles": "0"
Trial definition:
"name": "Voucher payment definition",
"type": "TRIAL",
"frequency": "MONTH",
"frequency_interval": "12",
"amount":
"value": "24",
"currency": "NZD"
"cycles": "1"
