POST /v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/auto-renew

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the billing.payment.manage permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X POST https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/auto-renew \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "auto_renew": <boolean> }'

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

**The customer's renewal switch, and the only one there is.** With `auto_renew` **false** the subscription runs to the end of the period already paid for and is then `expired` by the rebill sweep — nothing is minted, no card is charged, and the entitlements lapse at the same instant the period does. It is **not** an immediate cancellation: every day already bought is kept. With it **true** the subscription is selected by the nightly sweep at `current_period_end`, an order is minted and the payment method is charged. The switch is reversible right up to that moment, which is the customer's way back after turning it off. For a compute server the machine follows on its own: the provider's own renewal flag is pinned to "hold" for the life of every machine and is never exposed, so an unrenewed contract keeps serving for 24 hours, is powered down, and is deleted six days after that. Zinn® issues each vendor renewal explicitly, after the money is captured. Find a server's subscription with `subscription_id` on `GET /v1/compute/servers/{serverId}/renewal`. The response is the subscription **as the database now holds it**, not an echo of the request. Requires `billing.payment.manage` — the authority to decide what this account is charged. It deliberately does **not** require `sites.view`: a subscription is not a site, and this endpoint governs every plan, including ones that own no site. `404` for a subscription in another tenant as well as for one that does not exist — a `403` would confirm that an id belongs to somebody. `422` when the subscription has already ended (`canceled`/`expired`): writing `true` to a row the sweep can never select again would tell the customer they were covered when nothing will charge or serve them.
