# Subscription

Periodic collection transactions without further input from the client or customer.

A payment subscription contains one or more subscription items that are billed as defined in the subscription. It is relevant to products that are defined as services. After the subscription is created, you can add or remove subscription items as required.

> **Note:**
>
> - A customer can have more than one subscription.
> - Subscriptions support card and bank redirect payment method types.
> - To create a subscription with a fixed number of billing periods, such as for an installment sale, you must use [Update Subscription](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/update-subscription.md "Update Subscription") during the last billing period and set `cancel_at_period_end` to **true**.

**Prerequisites**

- A subscription requires one or more active plans. See [Create Plan](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/create-plan.md "Create Plan").
- Each plan requires a product of type **service**. See [Create Product](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/create-product.md "Create Product").
