Ordering a subscription

Only the Setup fee charges are generated for a subscription. The Setup fee charges are generated for a period equal to the subscription period and are closed when the order is completed. These types of charges change their attributes in a standard way (see Charges default attributes and Charges attributes changing) except the following: if a sales order is paid during the next billing period (see Ordering subscriptions), the charges are generated from the order completion date to the subscription expiration date.

Deleting a subscription

Deleting a subscription does not affect its charges.
