How subscriptions work
Plans and Subscriptions are the main objects needed to set up a successful recurring payments agreement between a buyer and a vendor.
The Plans object defines a single plan, including its price, billing cycle, and charge amount. While the Plans object is active, buyers can subscribe to that plan, creating a Subscriptions object.
The Subscriptions object represents a specific buyer subscription to a specific plan. It holds the subscription start and end dates, as well as information about the plan. The subscriptions object is linked to both a Plan and a buyer. Pausing a subscription will stop the billing cycle from running.

Auto Renewal
Subscriptions set to renew automatically will do so every time the expiration date is reached. When a subscription renews, a new subscription object is created with the same configuration. All renewed instances of the same subscription will have the same identifier UUID that can be used to track the subscription history.
Setup Fee
Setup fees can be added as an additional cost billed with the first subscription occurrence in a single transaction. The setup fee is defined on the plan level and can only be billed in the same currency as the plan.
Free Trial
Free trial periods allow a subscription to be active for a certain period of time after its creation date without billing the buyer for that period. Trial periods are defined on the plan level, with the period defined by a combination of cycle length (i.e., day, week, month, year) and the number of cycles.
