Periodic Subscription
This document introduces the relevant integration steps for periodic subscriptions, specifically including: creating a subscription plan, activating the subscription plan, and receiving subscription deduction results, etc.
1. Preparation Items
According to the guidance in "Configuration and Signature", obtain the merchant self-service platform account, obtain the merchant appId and secret key, configure the asynchronous notification address, and configure the public key and private key.
2. Interaction Process
3. Subscription Plan Rules
PayerMax provides various types of subscription plans: ordinary subscription, n-day trial subscription, and preferential subscription for the first n periods; when creating a subscription plan, different types of subscription plans can be created by passing in different parameters.
The total duration of the subscription plan managed by PayerMax cannot exceed 3 years.
After creating the subscription plan, it needs to be activated before the start time of the first period's deduction. If the difference between the first period's deduction time and the subscription creation time is more than 24 hours, it needs to be activated within 24 hours. Otherwise, the subscription plan will be set to expired, and PayerMax will notify that the subscription plan has expired after it expires.
After activating the subscription plan, subsequent deductions will be initiated by PayerMax; for each subsequent period's deduction, the deduction will be made within 24 hours before the start of that period. If the deduction fails, the system will automatically retry within 24 hours. If the retry fails 5 times, the subscription deduction will fail, and the subscription plan will be terminated.

Explanation of the activation request parameters:
If the subscription plan type is an n-day trial, the value of totalAmount during activation is 0; if the subscription plan type is preferential for the first n periods, the value of totalAmount during activation is the amount set for the preferential period; if the subscription plan type is an ordinary subscription, the value of totalAmount during activation is the fixed-period amount;
The currency during activation must be consistent with the currency in the subscription plan;
The userId during activation must be consistent with the userId in the subscription plan;
The subscription order number subscriptionNo returned by PayerMax after creating the subscription plan must be sent during activation;

}7. Subsequent Deductions by PayerMax
After the subscription plan is activated, PayerMax will start the deduction 24 hours before the start of each period according to the subscription cycle. After each deduction is completed, PayerMax will notify the merchant of the deduction result for this period. For each deduction, PayerMax will attempt to deduct 5 times. If all attempts fail, PayerMax will terminate the subscription plan and notify the merchant. Merchants can receive the deduction result through the callbackUrl address submitted when creating the subscription plan.

}9. Merchants Manage Subscriptions by Themselves
PayerMax also supports merchants to manage subscription plans by themselves. Merchants design subscription product forms according to their own scenarios, and PayerMax only accepts merchant deduction requests. The specific integration interaction process is the same as "Auto Debit Integration".
