We have a product configured as simple subscription product.
If you buy that product on the shop site directly, it will automatically create a subscription for this order after purchase.
We want to achieve the same behaviour with a REST-API call.
We know there is a create subscription endpoint but we explicitly don't want to use this.
We want the same way like on the page.
So we tried to use the create a order endpoint and added the product as line_Item (using ruby code here):
data = { customer_id: 1, currency: 'EUR', line_items: [{product_id: 1, quantity: 1}] }
response = woocommmerce.post('orders', data).parsed_response
puts response

}
That looks fine.
In our current flow we will open the payment_url from above and complete the checkout. That also works fine.
But it does not create a subscription, like it does on the shop page.
What am I missing here? Is this process possible with REST-API calls?
Thanks in advance.
