Seamless subscription allows you to provide your own payment experience to your customers. These seamless APIs allow businesses to have full control of the checkout experience. With this, you can collect all payment details on your webpage and safely send them to Cashfree Payments for processing the payments.

Seamless Subscription Flow

To build a seamless subscription flow for your customers, follow the steps below:

1. Create Plan - The first step is to create a plan. Plans are a prerequisite to create a subscription. Click here to know more about creating plans using APIs.
2. Create Seamless Subscription - Once you have created a plan, the next step is to create a subscription. You can charge your customers periodically (periodic) or whenever required (on-demand) for a subscription. Click here to know more about creating subscriptions seamlessly using APIs.
3. Create Authorisation Request - Now that you have created a subscription, the next step is to create an authorisation request. This authorisation request is for the subscription you created in the previous step. This is applicable only if you have created the subscription using the Create Seamless Subscription API.
4. Get Authorisation Status - You can check the status of an authorisation request using this API. This is applicable only if you have created the subscription using the Create Seamless Subscription API.
