Purchase a plan

You can use this API to purchase a new plan. A new plan will override your existing plan and update your subscription.start_date.

The purchase API uses the same parameters as the Subscription pricing endpoint with 2 additional fields: payment_method and recaptcha.

This API endpoint requires recaptcha validation if a payment is required. If you have enough account credits, no payment is required. When a payment is required you should not be using this API endpoint programmatically and only use it from the Webshare Dashboard.
