Yes, use the create_plan tool. You can define the name, interval, and base amount, as well as pass a JSON object for specific charges.
Is it possible to apply a discount to a customer?
Absolutely. First, create a coupon using create_coupon, then use the apply_coupon tool to link it to a specific customer's external ID.
