# Add product line item to subscription contract

> Adds a new product (line item) to an existing subscription contract. This allows customers or merchants to add products to their recurring subscription orders.

**Key Features:**
- **Add Products**: Include new products in future subscription deliveries
- **Quantity Control**: Specify how many units of the product to add
- **Price Override**: Set custom pricing for the added product
- **Immediate Effect**: Changes apply to next billing cycle
- **Activity Logging**: All additions are tracked in activity logs

**Required Parameters:**
- **contractId**: Subscription contract ID to modify
- **variantId**: Shopify product variant ID (with gid:// prefix or numeric)
- **quantity**: Number of units to add (must be positive integer)
- **price**: Price per unit in shop's base currency

**Product Variant ID Format:**
Accepts two formats:
- Shopify GID: `gid://shopify/ProductVariant/12345678901`
- Numeric ID: `12345678901`

**Price Behavior:**
- Price is per unit, not total
- Must be in shop's base currency (USD, EUR, etc.)
- Can override product's default price
- Does not include taxes or shipping
- Total line item cost = price × quantity

**Line Item Addition Rules:**
- Product variant must exist in Shopify catalog
- Product must be active and available
- Variant must have sufficient inventory (if tracked)
- Contract must be ACTIVE or PAUSED (not CANCELLED)
- Cannot add duplicate variants (use update quantity instead)

**Common Use Cases:**
- Customer adds complementary product to existing subscription
- Upsell additional products through customer portal
- Merchant adds bonus items to customer subscriptions
- Build custom "add-on" product selection interfaces
- Cross-sell related products to existing subscribers
- Create bundle upgrades (add multiple products at once)

**Post-Addition Effects:**
- Next billing amount increases by (price × quantity)
- Product appears in all future subscription deliveries
- Customer receives confirmation of subscription update
- Activity log records the addition with source (portal/merchant)
- Contract's next billing date remains unchanged

**Integration Example:**
```
PUT /api/external/v2/subscription-contract-add-line-item?
  contractId=123456&
  variantId=gid://shopify/ProductVariant/987654321&
  quantity=2&
  price=19.99
```
This adds 2 units of variant 987654321 at $19.99 each ($39.98 total) to contract 123456.

**Important Notes:**
- Changes apply to NEXT billing cycle, not current/past orders
- If product is out of stock, order may be delayed or skipped
- Price changes don't affect historical orders
- Consider inventory availability before adding products

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