The flow for subscriptions is a bit different. First you would need to create a [`RecurringOrder`](https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/table-schema/#RecurringOrder) record using [`DataService.add`](https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/xml-rpc/#data-create-a-record). Then you would use `InvoiceService.createInvoiceForRecurring` which will create an invoice for subscription record. Lastly you would call `InvoiceService.chargeInvoice` to collect payment on the subscription invoice.
