POST /v1/me/subscriptions

Subscribe to a plan

Start a subscription to a dashboard plan for the account this key belongs to.

Nothing is charged here. You get status checkout and a checkout_url where the buyer subscribes; if the account qualifies for the free trial, Stripe applies it and trial_days says how long. Repeating the call for the same plan and interval returns the same link while it is open, and succeeded once the buyer has paid and the plan is active.

This only starts a subscription. An account that already holds a plan gets already_subscribed and a manage_url, since upgrades and downgrades are settled in the app.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean optional

    Preview the call without executing it. Runs auth, scope, eligibility and body validation, then returns 200 with a dry_run object reporting the request-unit and credit cost plus a non-consuming quota snapshot. Nothing is debited, reserved, dispatched or mutated. An invalid body still returns 422.

    default: false
