Note: Pause Subscription can only be used if the Merchant’s products support this feature. This flow shows how a customer can pause an active subscription in the Reseller’s (Service Provider’s) store. In this use case, the Merchant supports pause and resume functionality. The Reseller manages the rules to pause the subscription. This use case has the following steps:
  1. Request to Pause the Subscription
  2. Pause the Merchant Partner Subscription Note: The APIs used for integration with Partner Ecosystem Management are the MarketONE APIs. Pause the subscription sequence

​
1. Request to Pause the Subscription

On the Reseller’s digital store, the customer selects an active subscription to pause. The customer confirms the paused subscription. The Reseller’s (Service Provider’s) system calls the MarketONE OpenAPI to pause the entitlement and passes the partnerSubscriptionId.

​
2. Pause the Merchant Partner Subscription

The MarketONE OpenAPI pauses the Merchant subscription and calls the Merchant to pause the Partner subscription. The Merchant pauses the existing Partner subscription and sends the response to the MarketONE OpenAPI with the Partner subscription’s PAUSED status. The customer can’t access the subscription in the Reseller’s digital store until the paused subscription is resumed.
