Create a Follow-On Subscription from an Existing Transaction {#create-subscriptions-follow-on-cust-token}
=========================================================================================================

This method eliminates the need to create a new customer token or search for an existing one.  
You can use an existing plan that has *ACTIVE* status or you can use a one-time plan to set up the subscription.  
You can add a differential fee to a subscription using the surcharge amount and surcharge description fields when you create a subscription. You add the surcharge amount to the billing amount when you process the recurring payment.

> IMPORTANT
> Before including a surcharge in your subscription, refer to your local regulations for compliance on surcharging customers, and confirm that your processor supports surcharges.
