Hello! I'm working on re-activating cancelled subscriptions. But I'm getting a 404 error when trying to use the

/subscriptions/api/v1/subscriptions/{id}/activate

route. I've noticed that the active route only exists in the admin namespace. What do you recommend for activating cancelled subscriptions?

Hey Sarah 👋🏼 It looks like you are correct and there is no route to activate a subscription through the API. This may be for security reasons so users can’t activate the subscription by passing any requirements. It looks like in the stock flow there is a job that is queued on

order_finalized

which handles the creation/activation of the subscription https://github.com/solidusio/solidus_subscriptions/blob/a73c9825adfcf25111c74346c1[…]75506/app/subscribers/solidus_subscriptions/order_subscriber.rb

@Sarah Naas If you want to reactivate cancelled subscriptions I think you can take a look at the

resume

API endpoint

Thanks!

It looks like I completely misread your original question, thanks @Nicolò Rebughini for clarifying!

So resuming a subscription doesn't work on cancelled subscriptions. What's the difference between pausing and cancelling a subscription?

I think pausing would be if a customer wants to skip an instalment, where as cancelling is a final state.
