Recurly Invalid Subscription Term

The subscription term provided is not valid.

Understanding Recurly: A Billing and Subscription Management Tool

Recurly is a powerful tool designed to manage billing and subscriptions for businesses. It provides a comprehensive API that allows developers to integrate subscription management into their applications seamlessly. Recurly is widely used for its robust features, including automated billing, subscription lifecycle management, and detailed analytics.

Identifying the Symptom: Invalid Subscription Term

When working with Recurly, you might encounter an error message indicating an 'Invalid Subscription Term'. This error typically arises when the subscription term specified in your API request does not conform to the expected format or range.

Common Observations

  • API requests failing with an error message related to subscription terms.
  • Unexpected behavior in subscription lifecycle management.

Exploring the Issue: What Causes 'Invalid Subscription Term'?

The 'Invalid Subscription Term' error occurs when the term provided in the subscription request is outside the permissible range defined by Recurly. This could be due to incorrect values or a misunderstanding of the term limits.

Understanding Subscription Terms

Subscription terms in Recurly define the duration and billing cycle of a subscription. It's crucial to ensure that these terms align with the predefined options available in Recurly's API documentation. For more details, refer to the Recurly Subscription API Documentation.

Steps to Fix the 'Invalid Subscription Term' Issue

To resolve this issue, follow these actionable steps:

Step 1: Verify Subscription Term Values

Ensure that the subscription term values in your API request are correct. Check the allowed range and format in the Recurly API documentation. For example, if the term should be in months, ensure you are not providing days or years.

Step 2: Update Your API Request

Modify your API request to include valid subscription term values. Here is a sample JSON payload for a valid subscription request:

{
"plan_code": "gold",
"currency": "USD",
"account": {
"account_code": "123"
},
"subscription": {
"term_length": 12,
"term_unit": "months"
}
}

Step 3: Test Your Changes

After updating the API request, test it in a development environment to ensure the error is resolved. Use tools like Postman or curl to send requests and verify the response.

Conclusion

By ensuring that your subscription terms are valid and within the allowed range, you can effectively resolve the 'Invalid Subscription Term' error in Recurly. For further assistance, consult the Recurly Support or explore their Developer Portal for more resources.
