To create a Subscription in Square, the following properties can be provided. Those marked with * are required.
:::hint{type="info"}
To activate the Subscription and immediately charge the Customer, provide a Payment method ID and set the value of startDate to today or null, otherwise, the Square processor bills an invoice to the customer's email address. The subscription is scheduled if the startDate value in the request object is in the future.
