# Skip upcoming subscription order

> Skips a scheduled billing attempt, preventing the order from being processed. The next billing date is automatically recalculated based on the subscription frequency.

**Key Features:**
- **Flexible Skipping**: Skip any upcoming order
- **Auto-Rescheduling**: Next billing date automatically adjusted
- **Prepaid Support**: Handles both regular and prepaid subscriptions
- **Activity Logging**: Tracks skip events for reporting
- **Customer Control**: Allow members to manage delivery timing

**How It Works:**
1. Marks the billing attempt as skipped
2. Calculates new next billing date (current date + frequency)
3. Updates subscription contract in Shopify
4. Logs skip activity with event source
5. Returns updated billing attempt details

**Use Cases:**
- Customer going on vacation
- Too much inventory on hand
- Temporary pause without canceling
- Budget constraints for specific month
- Customize delivery schedule

**Authentication:** Requires API key authentication via X-API-Key header or api_key parameter
