Creating G Suite subscription

Question

While creating a subscription for customer using "G Suite Reseller API" POST https://www.googleapis.com/apps/reseller/v1/customers/customerId/subscriptions can we specify : plan.planName as "ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY", and renewalSettings.renewalType as "AUTO_RENEW_YEARLY_PAY"

or the renewalType should be "AUTO_RENEW_MONTHLY_PAY" if planName is "ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY" ? currently I do not have test reseller account hence not tested yet.

Thanks

Answer 1

I think so as GSuite Reseller API has this list of available plans:

• ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY — Annual commitment with monthly payments (more info)
• ANNUAL_YEARLY_PAY — Annual commitment with one yearly payment (more info)
• FLEXIBLE — Non-commitment plan with monthly payments (more info) TRIAL — Free trial plan Trial length is variable up to 30 days max Gmail daily sending limit set to 500 messages per user
• FREE — Free plan only for Cloud Identity Free Edition subscriptions

And for renewalSettings.renewalType these are the accepted values:

• "AUTO_RENEW_MONTHLY_PAY": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, automatically renew the subscription's plan with the same number of user licenses.
• "AUTO_RENEW_YEARLY_PAY": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, automatically renew the subscription's plan with the same number of user licenses.
• "CANCEL": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, the customer's account is suspended. For a 30-day free trial, if a payment plan is not set up for a trial subscription and at the end of the trial, the trial subscription is cancelled.
• "RENEW_CURRENT_USERS_MONTHLY_PAY": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, renew the subscription's plan but use the total number of current active user licenses.
• "RENEW_CURRENT_USERS_YEARLY_PAY": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, renew the subscription's plan but use the total number of current active user licenses.
• "SWITCH_TO_PAY_AS_YOU_GO": At the end of an annual commitment plan's interval, change the annual commitment plan to a flexible plan.

As long as the values/property was mentioned in the docs, it can be used.

Answer 2

If the plan.planName is ANNUAL_MONTHLY_PAY, the .renewalType must be AUTO_RENEW_MONTHLY_PAY (As this is for Annual Plans with monthly payments)

If the plan.planName is ANNUAL_YEARLY_PAY, the .renwalType must be AUTO_RENEW_YEARLY_PAY (As this of for the Annual Plan with yearly payments)
