Updates a subscription by ID.

In Partner Center, perform this operation by first selecting a customer. Then, select the subscription in question that you wish to update. To finish, change desired values, then select Submit.

Prerequisites

Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.
A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer’s Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).
A subscription ID.

C#

To update values of a customer's subscription, first get the subscription, then change the subscription's desired properties. Once the change is made, use your IAggregatePartner.Customers collection and call the ById() method. Then call the Subscriptions property, followed by the ById() method. Then, finish by calling the Patch() method.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// var customerId;
// var subscriptionId;

//retrieving the subscription, for the purpose of the sample
ResourceCollection<Subscription> customerSubscriptions = partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).Subscriptions.Get();
Subscription selectedSubscription = customerSubscriptions.Items.FirstOrDefault(sub => sub.Status == SubscriptionStatus.Active);

//update selected subscription; a variety of fields can be updated, but quantity is used as an example below
selectedSubscription.Quantity++;

var updatedSubscription = partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).Subscriptions.ById(selectedSubscription.Id).Patch(selectedSubscription);

REST request

Request syntax

Method	Request URI
PATCH	{baseURL}/v1/customers/{customer-tenant-id}/subscriptions/{subscription-id} HTTP/1.1

URI parameter

This table lists the required query parameter to update the subscription.

Name	Type	Required	Description
customer-tenant-id	guid	Y	A GUID corresponding to the customer.
subscription-id	guid	Y	A GUID corresponding to the subscription.

Request headers

For more information, see Partner Center REST headers.

Request body

A full Subscription resource is required in the request body. Ensure that the desired properties are updated.

If a subscription's autoRenewEnabled is set to true, has next term instructions, or has next billing instructions, these said attributes are required as part of the body to the PATCH request. If these attributes aren't provided, autoRenewEnabled is inadvertently set to false, or the next term/billing instructions are deleted. This only applies if minimal info is in the payload. If a Get call is made before and said response is modified and passed to the API, the required fields would be populated in the request.

REST response

If successful, this method returns an HTTP status 200 status code and updated subscription resource properties in the response body.

Response success and error codes

Each response returns an HTTP status code that indicates success or failure and other debugging information. Use a network trace tool to read the status code, error type, and other parameters. For the full list, see Error Codes.

When the patch operation takes longer than the expected time, the Partner Center sends an HTTP status 202 status code and a location header that points to where to retrieve the subscription. You can query the subscription periodically to monitor the status.
