**[Step 7 of 11]** After the buyer has successfully completed checkout, the <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/checkout-session.md#complete-checkout-session" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Complete Checkout Session</a> response will include a `ChargePermissionId` for a recurring Charge Permission object that you can use to charge the subscriber and manage cancellations.

At the end of this step, you will be able to charge the buyer at a recurring cadence and manage cancellations.

### 1. Recurring charges and handling declines

Call <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> each time you need to charge the subscriber. Set `CaptureNow` to true to capture payment immediately, set it to false to capture later. Note that Amazon Pay limits how much you can charge the buyer for each calendar month, see <a href="../amazon-pay-checkout/monthly-recurring-charge-limits.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">monthly recurring charge limits</a> for more info.

If <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> returns a 201 response, authorization was either successfully completed or successfully initiated depending on whether `canHandlePendingAuthorization` was set to true. If <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> returns a different HTTP status code, check the request response `reasonCode` to determine if you should retry <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> or ask your buyer to use a different payment method:

* If `reasonCode` is SoftDeclined or ProcessingFailure:
    1. Call <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge-permission.md#get-charge-permission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get Charge Permission</a> to confirm that the Charge Permission is in a Chargeable state
    2. Call <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> to charge the buyer
* If `reasonCode` is HardDeclined, ask the buyer to update their payment instrument using the following link: https://payments.amazon.com/jr/your-account/ba/{ChargePermissionId}. Replace {ChargePermissionId} with the buyer's Charge Permission Id. <a href="../amazon-pay-checkout/set-up-instant-payment-notifications.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Set up IPNs</a> to receive a notification once the payment instrument has been updated and then:

    1. Call <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge-permission.md#get-charge-permission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get Charge Permission</a> to confirm that the Charge Permission is in a Chargeable state
    2. Call <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge.md#create-charge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Create Charge</a> to charge the buyer

* For all other `reasonCode`, reengage the buyer and ask them to go through checkout again with a different payment method

### 2. Managing cancellations

Use <a href="../amazon-pay-api-v2/charge-permission.md#close-charge-permission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Close Charge Permission</a> to inform Amazon Pay if a subscriber cancels their subscription. You will no longer be able to charge a subscriber unless they complete Amazon Pay checkout again once you close the Charge Permission.

Subscribers can also close Charge Permissions by signing in to <a href="https://pay.amazon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://pay.amazon.com</a>. <a href="../amazon-pay-checkout/set-up-instant-payment-notifications.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Set up IPNs</a> to receive notifications whenever a Charge Permission is closed. To minimize churn, we recommend that you proactively reach out to the subscriber for a new payment method before the next billing cycle.
