Activate a trialing subscription
Activates a trialing subscription using its ID. Only automatically-collected subscriptions where the status is trialing
can be activated.
On activation, Paddle bills for a subscription immediately. Subscription billing dates are recalculated based on the activation date (the time the activation request is made).
If successful, Paddle returns a copy of the updated subscription entity. The subscription status is active
, and billing dates are updated to reflect the activation date.
This operation results in an immediate charge, so responses may take longer than usual while a payment attempt is processed.
