# Create subscription plan

Creates a recurring-payment subscription plan record.

`POST /v1/payments/subscription-plans`

This stores SDP backend state and Solana subscriptions program identifiers; it does not by itself create the on-chain plan.

Requires an [API key](/docs/developing-with-sdp/authentication) with the `recurring.manage` action.

## Headers

- **`x-project-id`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `prj_example`

  Required for dashboard sessions. API keys use their assigned project.

- **`Idempotency-Key`** · `string`

  Use a unique 1–255 printable ASCII key per operation. Reuse it with the same request on retries. An in-flight attempt returns `409`; a changed request returns `422`. [Retry and recovery rules](/docs/developing-with-sdp/idempotency).

## Request body
