   Hi Amit,

   Yes, you can set the payment method to external by setting subsciption[method]=external when you add or update the customer. Just for reference, the required params to create a customer on an external payment method are:

   • code
   • firstName, lastName
   • email
   • subscription[ccFirstName], subscription[ccLastName] (there is no credit card involved, but these fields have to be filled)
   • subscription[planCode]
   • subscription[method]
   • subscription[gatewayToken]

   The value for the subscription[gatewayToken] param for customers on an external method can be whatever you'd like. Some merchants use this param to store information about the customer's record in an external system (like their account number in Quickbooks, for example).

   Let me know if you have any other questions!

   Marcela
