# Set up subscriptions

> Bill customers on a recurring schedule.

Bill a customer’s default card on a recurring schedule.

**1. Prerequisite: a customer with a default card**

Subscriptions charge the customer’s saved default card — see [Charge a customer](https://docs.mygigsters.com/guides/charge-a-customer.md) for card setup.

**2. Create the subscription**

Call [Create Subscription](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/create-subscription.md) with the customer, amount, currency, frequency and start date.

**3. Manage its lifecycle**

[Update](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/update-subscription.md) to modify details, [Pause](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/pause-subscription.md) to temporarily stop billing, [Resume](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/resume-subscription.md) to continue, [Cancel](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/cancel-subscription.md) to end permanently. [List Subscriptions](https://docs.mygigsters.com/api-reference/subscriptions/list-subscriptions.md) shows everything on your account.
