# Create subscription management session

POST https://staging-panic.aura.services/panic-api/v2/subscription-management/sessions
Content-Type: application/json

Creates an Aura-hosted Stripe Billing Portal session where the authenticated customer can manage or cancel their subscription and payment details. Redirect the customer to the returned `url`; they return to your `returnUrl` when done. The customer is resolved from the access token. This operation requires AURA-managed Stripe credentials on the customer source and a Stripe customer ID linked to the customer; otherwise it returns `400`.

Reference: https://docs.aurasos.com/api-reference/subscription-sessions/create-subscription-management-session
