Upcoming Annual Renewals API Endpoint

Upcoming Annual Renewals API Endpoint

  1. 30 days before an annual subscription renews, you can use this API endpoint to notify Churn Buster of the upcoming invoice, and to trigger a branded email to be immediately sent to your customer.
  2. You can preview your sandbox API requests in the debugger here if using your test-mode API key, or here if using your live-mode API key.

Emails will only be sent when using your live-mode API key, and this feature is only available to enterprise accounts who've requested access via the Churn Buster team.

A note about invoice.source_id:
It's possible the upcoming invoice doesn't yet have an ID assigned. In that case, you can use the Subscription ID as the invoice.source_id.

A note about source  and source_id :
In most cases, you should use IDs from your payment processor. If you're using Stripe, source would be "stripe" and source_id would be "cus_sampleID".

If that's not possible, you can use IDs from your in-house billing system. source would be "in_house" and source_id  would be "yourInternalId".

IDs should be unique to customers, subscriptions, invoices, payment methods, and payments.
