Create a subscription

How to create a recurring subscription product link or form.

To create a subscription product, add the sub_frequency parameter with a valid value to your add-to-cart link or form.

Example

https://myonlinestore.foxycart.com/cart?name=Test+Subscription&price=9.99&sub_frequency=1m

Value	Result
`60d`	Every 60 days
`2w`	Every two weeks. For date calculations, 1w = 7d.
`1m`	Every month. Foxy will assign billing to the current (or assigned) day of the month, repeated every x months. The date will be moved up when necessary — if set to the 31st, it will process on the 30th in months with 30 days (or the 28th/29th in February).
`1y`	Every year
`.5m`	Twice a month. The `.5` value only works with `m`. This sets up billing once on the start date and again 15 days later. For example, if set to start on the 3rd, it will run on the 3rd and 18th of each month.

A sub_frequency value is required for a product to be treated as a subscription by Foxy. Without it, the product will be treated as a regular one-time purchase.
