Create plans and manage subscriptions

In the Anythink dashboard

Open AnythinkPay and choose the Plans tab. It lists every plan with its Plan name, Product name, Amount, Billing and Status, where Status is Active or Retired. Select New plan, or Edit on a plan, to open the form:

Select Create plan or Save plan. When Stripe onboarding is complete, a new plan syncs to Stripe straight away. Saving an existing plan whose amount, currency, interval, Bill every, Product name or Product description changed syncs it again. A plan's page shows Synced to Stripe with the Stripe product and price ids, or Not yet synced to Stripe if onboarding isn't done or the sync failed. Save the plan again to retry.

The dashboard form prices new plans in pounds sterling.

With the CLI

There's no anythink pay subcommand for plans, so manage them with fetch against the AnythinkPay API:

anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscription-plans
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscription-plans/8
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscription-plans --method POST --body '{ ... }'
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscription-plans/8 --method PUT --body '{ ... }'
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscription-plans/8 --method DELETE

A plan's JSON uses these fields:

PUT replaces every field, so send the whole plan, not just the field you're changing.

With an AI assistant (MCP)

List the active AnythinkPay subscription plans on this project.

The assistant runs a fetch request against the plans endpoint through the cli tool, as there's no dedicated plans tool.

In the Anythink dashboard

Open AnythinkPay and choose the Subscriptions tab. It lists every subscription with its Subscription, Customer, Status, Amount, Next Billing, Cancellation and Source. Use the filter to show one status.

To add a subscriber, select Add Subscriber:

1. On the User tab, pick an existing user. On the Other entity tab, pick any entity and the record to subscribe, then enter the Customer email. That suits a subscriber who isn't a user, such as a workspace or a team.
2. Pick the Plan. Its price, billing interval and trial period come from the plan.
3. Optionally add a Customer phone, then select Send checkout link.
4. In the Subscription created dialog, select Open checkout, or copy the link and send it to the subscriber.

Open a subscription to see its Status, its Events timeline (created, renewed, cancelled, refunded, plan changes) and the users it's linked to.

On an active Stripe subscription, Cancel Subscription stops auto-renewal. The subscriber keeps access until the current period ends. Apple subscribers manage their subscription in the App Store, so Cancel isn't offered for them.

With the CLI

anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions/{id}
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions/{id}/cancel --method POST
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions/{id}/resume --method POST
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions/{id}/events
anythink fetch /integrations/anythinkpay/subscriptions/by-user/61

cancel switches off auto-renewal on a Stripe subscription. Its status stays active, auto_cancel_at is set, and the subscriber keeps access until the period ends. resume switches auto-renewal back on while the period is still running. When Stripe ends the subscription its status becomes canceled.

To add a subscriber from the CLI, read the plan and send its own values. See Sell a subscription in 15 minutes. The {id} in these paths is the subscription's id, a UUID.

events returns the timeline. Each entry has an event_type, a source (user, verify, assn, admin or system), a summary, the prior_status and new_status, and occurred_at.
