Usage

To create a new subscription:

use ChargeBee\ChargeBee\Environment;
use ChargeBee\ChargeBee\Subscription;

Environment::configure("your_site", "{your_site_api_key}");
$result = Subscription::create([
    "id" => "__dev__KyVqH3NW3f42fD",
    "planId" => "starter",
    "customer" => [
        "email" => "john@user.com",
        "firstName" => "John",
        "lastName" => "Wayne"
    ]
]);
$subscription = $result->subscription();
$customer = $result->customer();
$card = $result->card();

Create an idempotent request

Idempotency keys are passed along with request headers to allow a safe retry of POST requests.

use ChargeBee\ChargeBee\Environment;
use ChargeBee\ChargeBee\Models\Customer;

Environment::configure("your_site", "{your_site_api_key}");
$result = Customer::create(array(
    "email" => "john@test.com",
    "first_name" => "john"
    ), 
    null, 
    array(
        "chargebee-idempotency-key" => "<<UUID>>"
        )
    ); // Replace <<UUID>> with a unique string
$customer = $result->customer();
print_r($customer);

$responseHeaders = $result->getResponseHeaders(); // Retrieves response headers
print_r($responseHeaders);
$idempotencyReplayedValue = $result->isIdempotencyReplayed(); // Retrieves Idempotency replayed header value
print_r($idempotencyReplayedValue);

isIdempotencyReplayed() method can be accessed to differentiate between original and replayed requests.

Legacy Support

If you are using PHP < 5.6.0 , you can download chargebee-php v2.8.3. This version will not support recently added features since the version was released. We recommend you to upgrade PHP inorder to use the latest features.
