The REST API reference describes how to create a new subscription in preview mode. This call does not require a valid customer account. It can be used to show potential new customers a preview of a subscription with complete details and charges before creating an account, or to let existing customers preview a subscription with all charges before committing.

Some operations in this section are similar to each other, but are provided for different use scenarios. You should choose the one that best suits your needs. For example, the Create account operation is used to create an account with a credit card payment method, a bill-to contact, and optionally an sold-to contact or an associated subscription. If you want to create an account without creating any associated objects such as subscriptions, use CRUD: Create Account instead.
