# Subscriptions Overview

> Automate recurring payments with PaveWay's billing engine.

PaveWay's Subscription API allows you to charge customers on a recurring basis (monthly, weekly, or daily). We support both card-based auto-billing and mobile-money scheduled prompts.

## Key Concepts

* **Plans**: Define the logic for your subscription (amount, currency, billing cycle).
* **Subscriptions**: The link between a customer and a plan.
* **Invoices**: Generated automatically for each billing period.
* **Fallback Payment Methods**: Automatically switch to an alternative (e.g., from Mobile Money to Card) if the primary method fails.

## Payment Methods

| Method           | Mechanism                                                                        |
| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cards**        | Automatic charges using saved Stripe or Flutterwave tokens.                      |
| **Mobile Money** | Scheduled USSD prompts sent to the customer's phone at their **Preferred Time**. |

## Billing Cycle

PaveWay supports the following billing cycles:

* `daily`: Billed every 24 hours.
* `weekly`: Billed every 7 days.
* `monthly`: Billed once a month.
