Update subscription group details and product assignments

Request

Updates an existing subscription group (selling plan group) including its name, selling plans configuration, and optionally manages product/variant assignments. This endpoint provides comprehensive update capabilities for both the subscription group structure and its product associations.

Key Capabilities:

  • Update subscription group name
  • Modify existing selling plan configurations (discounts, frequencies, trials, etc.)

  • Cannot add or remove selling plans - only modify existing ones
  • Automatically handles complex discount transitions for free trials and prepaid plans

  • Triggers asynchronous operations for metafield updates and free product checks

Important Notes:

  • The 'id' field is required and must match an existing subscription group
  • For each selling plan in subscriptionPlans array, provide 'idNew' with the existing selling plan ID
  • Plan modifications maintain the same selling plan ID in Shopify
  • Product/variant updates are processed after group details are updated
  • Large product updates (allProduct=true) run asynchronously

Selling Plan Updates:

  • Can change discount amounts, types, and cycles
  • Can modify billing/delivery frequencies
  • Can add/remove free trials
  • Can change member restrictions and tags

  • Set specific delivery dates (e.g., 15th of every month)
  • Add all products from store or specific collection automatically

Discount Configuration:

  • First discount tier: Applied from a specific cycle (afterCycle1)
  • Second discount tier: Applied from another cycle (afterCycle2)
  • Additional cycles: Configure via appstleCycles for complex scenarios
  • Free trials: Automatically configure 100% discount for trial period

Product Assignment:

  • Assign specific products via productIds field in request body
  • Assign specific variants via variantIds field in request body
  • Use isAddAllProduct=true to add all store products
  • Use collectionId with isAddAllProduct=true to add all products from a collection

Authentication: Requires valid X-API-Key header

Query
