We’ve improved the Create Subscription flow to help brands select the most reliable payment method when manually creating subscriptions. The update highlights the most recently used card for successful payments and also allows adding a new card directly within the flow when a customer does not already have one saved.

What’s new

1. Create subscription manually via Admin portal

• Payment method selection UI updated from a dropdown to radio buttons for better visibility and easier selection.
• “Add new card” button introduced within the flow. If the customer has no saved payment methods, brands can directly add a new card.
• Last charged date is now visible for each payment method (based on the store timezone).
• Payment methods are automatically sorted by last charged date, making the most recently successful card easier to identify.

2. Create subscription via APIs

• A new lastCharged key has been introduced inside the payment object across relevant API endpoints.
• This exposes the identifier for the last successful payment, enabling better payment method selection for API-based subscription creation.
