# Update subscription group details and product assignments

> 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.)
- Add or remove products/variants through updateProducts and deleteProducts fields

- Automatically handles complex discount transitions for free trials and prepaid plans
- Updates delivery profile associations if changed
- 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
- Can update specific day delivery settings
- Can modify min/max cycles

**Authentication:** Requires valid X-API-Key header
