Gifts
Gift represents a subscription of a customer(recipient) to a 'gift plan' which has been gifted by another customer(gifter). It may also have addons and coupons. Gift will be created only on immediate successful payment collection from the gifter's payment method.
Gift is initially created in 'scheduled' state. The gift can be scheduled to be notified on a particular date to the recipient by passing 'scheduled_at'. If not, the recipient is notified immediately. Gift will be moved to 'unclaimed' state on the date of notification. If you pass auto_claim as true, gift status will be moved to 'claimed' immediately, otherwise, the gift will remain 'unclaimed' till the recipient claims the gift.
If the gift is not claimed before the claim_expiry_date, it will be moved to the 'expired' state.
GIFT SUBSCRIPTION
Gift subscriptions will be created in 'future' state. Once the gift is claimed, the subscription will be moved to 'non-renewing' state.
INVOICE
Gift subscriptions will be invoiced immediately. The invoice created has is_gifted as 'true' and term_finalized as 'false'. This is because initially the invoice term_start and term_end are set as the subscription's start_date till the end of the plan period. Once the gift is claimed, the invoice's term_finalized will be marked as 'true'. The term_start will be changed to the actual invoice's term, which is the gift-claim date and the term_end will be changed till plan's period.
