Braintree Recurring Invalid plan ID error when creating a subscription

The plan ID used in the API request does not match any plan ID configured in the Braintree dashboard.

Understanding Braintree Recurring API

Braintree Recurring is a powerful tool used by developers to manage billing and subscription services within their applications. It allows for seamless integration of payment processing and subscription management, making it a popular choice for businesses looking to automate their billing processes. With Braintree Recurring, you can easily set up and manage recurring billing cycles, handle customer subscriptions, and ensure secure transactions.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Braintree Recurring, you might encounter an error message stating: "Invalid plan ID". This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a subscription using a plan ID that Braintree does not recognize. As a result, the subscription creation process fails, and you are unable to proceed with billing the customer.

Exploring the Issue: Error Code 91502

The error code 91502 is associated with an invalid plan ID. This means that the plan ID you are using in your API request does not match any of the plan IDs configured in your Braintree dashboard. This could be due to a typo, a missing plan, or a plan that has not been properly set up.

Common Causes of Error 91502

  • Typographical errors in the plan ID.
  • The plan ID has not been created or configured in the Braintree dashboard.
  • The plan ID has been deleted or deactivated.

Steps to Resolve the Invalid Plan ID Issue

To resolve the invalid plan ID error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Plan ID

First, ensure that the plan ID you are using in your API request is correct. Double-check for any typographical errors. You can find the correct plan ID by logging into your Braintree dashboard and navigating to the Plans section.

Step 2: Confirm Plan Setup

Ensure that the plan ID is properly set up in the Braintree dashboard. If the plan does not exist, you will need to create it. Follow the instructions in the Braintree documentation to set up a new plan.

Step 3: Check Plan Status

If the plan ID exists, verify that it is active and not deleted or deactivated. You can check the status of your plans in the Braintree dashboard under the Plans section.

Step 4: Update Your Application

Once you have verified and corrected the plan ID, update your application code to use the correct plan ID. Ensure that the API request includes the updated plan ID.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the invalid plan ID error and successfully create subscriptions using Braintree Recurring. For more detailed guidance, refer to the Braintree Recurring Billing Guide.
