Updating the subscription's payment source

Learn how to update the subscription's payment source.

In this section, we'll guide you through updating the payment source for an existing subscription.

Following the steps outlined below, you can quickly and easily change the payment source associated with your subscription using a simple API request.

To update the payment source for an existing subscription, send a POST request to the following endpoint using curl:

--header 'Authorization: Bearer [Your_Access_Token]' \
--data-raw '{
  "sourceId": "{Your_New_Payment_Source_ID}",
  "isShippingSameAsBilling": true
}'

Replace{subscriptionId} with the actual ID of the subscription you want to update and {Your_Access_Token} with your authorization key. Refer to the Obtain API credentials topic for more information on your authorization key.
