Create subscription upgrade

Add a subscription upgrade.

Upgrades can be of two types: full upgrade and partial upgrade.

  • Full upgrade: if the target quantity is greater or equal to the current quantity
  • Partial upgrade: if the target quantity is less than the current quantity

Prerequisites

C#

To create a subscription upgrade, SubscriptionId is required.

Next, get the instance of CrayonApiClient and then get the client token using the instance.

Finally, call Subscriptions.PostTransitionAsync() method to create the upgrade for the subscription by passing the token, instance of SubscriptionTransition and SubscriptionId.

var transition = new SubscriptionTransition
    {
        Quantity = 1,
        ToCatalogItemId = "CFQ7TTC0LF8Q:0001:CFQ7TTC0K39X",
        TransitionType = "transition_only",
        BillingCycle = 1,
        Term = "P1M"
    };

var client = new CrayonApiClient("https://api.crayon.com/");
var token = client.Tokens.GetUserToken(clientId, clientSecret, userName, password).GetData().AccessToken;
var result = client.Subscriptions.PostTransitionAsync(token, subscriptionId, transition);
