Retrieve Subscription Change Timeline

Using the fucntion, fetchChangeSubscriptionOptions, you can change subscription immediately or end-of-term based on custom code logic.

Usage and invocation

You can implement your business logic on cases of subscription change that need to happen immediately and at the end of term, and finally return a value for each scenario.

• If the changes need to take effect immediately, end-of-term should be set to false.
• If the changes need to take effect at the term end, end-of-term should be set to true.

Let's take an example. For downgrades, you can choose to make the change during the end of the term. Whereas for upgrades, you can choose to make the change immediately.
