Subscription
In a subscription-based model, customers pay upfront, prior to receiving access to services.
Sandbox customers must first set up recurring payment before accessing our APIs. Subscription can be billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Customer are charged at the beginning of each billing cycle. A subscription is auto-renewed at the end of the subscription term.
Sandbox uses Razorpay to set up Subscription. Razorpay offers payment methods such as UPI Autopay, E-Mandate and Standing Instructions on Credit/Debit cards. You can refer to Razorpay Subscription life cycle here.

Halted Subscription
Payment Gateway will move your subscription into halted state if your payment method does not work. Your access to Sandbox APIs may get impacted due to the same. Its always advisable to maintain healthy payment method for business continuity.
RBI had issued strict guidelines around recurring payment and given timeline to payment ecosystem to comply. While ecosystem has in general made progress, many issues still exist with recurring payments.
In order to maintain business continuity, we have decided to move subscription to an offline invoicing-based model when the subscription moves into a halted state. You can view and pay these invoices from your dashboard. You will have 3-5 business days to pay the invoice before your subscription is canceled by our finance team.
