# Activate a subscription

> Transitions a draft subscription to `active` so it becomes effective for the customer. Idempotent: activating an already-active subscription returns the current state. See the [Creating a Subscription](/docs/api-reference/v2/examples/creating-a-subscription) examples for the full creation flow.
