REST Resource: partners.subscriptions

Resource: Subscription

A subscription serves as a central billing entity between an external partner and Google. The underlying Google services rely on the subscription state to grant or revoke the user's service entitlement.

It's important to note that the subscription state may not always perfectly align with the user's service entitlement. For example, some Google services may continue providing access to the user until the current billing cycle ends, even if the subscription has been immediately canceled. However, other services may not do the same. To fully understand the specific details, please consult the relevant contract or product policy.
