Introducing the Chargebee CLI

Can a normal plan be used as a gift plan?

Problem Statement

You want to use an existing regular plan as a gift subscription.

  • I have one or two existing regular plans. Can I send them as gift subscriptions?
  • I do not want separate gift plans. I want to gift the regular plans.

Solution

Currently, this is not supported. A gift plan can only be purchased as a gift plan. A normal plan cannot be used as a gift plan. The gift plan checkout flow is different and asks for the recipient's email address.
