List Subscription Assignments​

Using the new list subscription assignments operation you can now determine what products have been activated for a business location.

This allows you to check to see if a product is already active before submitting an order.

"Why is it called a subscription assignment?" you might ask. Well, we are working on the ability for businesses to purchase multiple product subscriptions and then assign them to one or more locations. For seat-based products the subscriptions will be assignable to users. We still have a large amount of work to do to support this but we didn't want to make you switch APIs.
