Subscription Management

Update delivery price for a subscription contract

Updates the fixed delivery price for all future orders in a subscription contract. This allows manual override of calculated shipping rates with a custom delivery fee.

Key Features:

Sets a fixed delivery price regardless of shipping calculations
Overrides any dynamic shipping rates from carriers
Applies to all future orders immediately
Can set to 0 for free delivery
Automatically handles invalid discount codes
Tracks price changes in activity log

How Delivery Pricing Works:

Calculated Rates: Default behavior uses carrier rates and rules
Manual Override: This endpoint sets a fixed price
Precedence: Manual price overrides all calculations
Currency: Always in shop’s base currency

Common Use Cases:

Free Shipping Promotions: Set to 0.00
Flat Rate Shipping: Fixed price regardless of location
VIP Customer Rates: Special shipping prices
Subscription Perks: Reduced delivery fees
Price Corrections: Fix shipping calculation errors
Regional Adjustments: Custom rates for specific areas

Impact on Orders:

Next order uses new delivery price
All future recurring orders affected
Existing orders keep original pricing
Customer sees updated total immediately
No recalculation on address changes

Price Validation:

Must be a valid decimal number
Can be 0 for free shipping
No maximum limit enforced
Negative values typically rejected by Shopify
Currency precision respected (e.g., 2 decimals for USD)

Side Effects:

Invalid discount codes automatically removed
Activity log created with old/new prices
No customer email notification sent
Shipping tax recalculated if applicable
Total order value updated

Reverting to Calculated Rates: To restore dynamic shipping calculations:

Use the sync shipping price endpoint
Or update delivery method
Manual price remains until explicitly changed

Important Notes:

Price includes all delivery charges (shipping + handling)
Does not affect delivery method or speed
Consider customer communication for increases
May affect subscription profitability
Some payment methods may decline on total changes

Authentication: Requires valid X-API-Key header
