To subscribe to an API product, you have two plan options: Demo and Standard.

- When you're comfortable with the workflow and have completed the contracting process with your Trading Partner Manager, you can subscribe to the Standard plan. The subscription request will be approved upon verification of contract status.
To subscribe to the Standard plan, select Subscribe under the Standard column.
In the Subscribe dialog, select Subscribe.
A notification states that the subscription request has been submitted for approval. Availity Client Services will now approve the subscription and begin the API key provisioning process.
