# Create a subscription recast

> Creates a subscription recast which can be used to replace the terms, dates, and/or entitlements of a customer's current contract. It essentially scraps the existing agreement and creates a completely new one. Estimate the pricing for the newly created recast order using the `/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/recast/{order_id}/estimate` endpoint, or start it using `/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/recast/{order_id}/start`.
