On/Off Components

Chargify now offers support for a new component type called ‘On/Off’.

On/Off Components come in handy when you want to have your customers opt in or out to an ancillary feature of your product or service. For example, if you run a hosting business and want to offer “24/7” support for an additional charge of $29.99 a month, you could create an On/Off Component for it.

On/Off Components are created like any other component. Once enabled, the customer will be charged that amount at the end of each billing cycle. 

We will be updating the documentation for On/Off components shortly. For now, here is a sneak peak of the API for enabling a component on a subscription:
