Subscription Products

Update product line item price

Updates the base price of a specific product line item within a subscription contract. This endpoint intelligently handles pricing updates while preserving existing discount structures.

Key Features:

Updates base price while maintaining discount cycles
Automatically calculates prepaid subscription prices
Preserves existing percentage/fixed discounts
Validates actual price changes before updating
Triggers shipping and discount recalculations
Sends price update notifications to customers

Base Price vs Current Price:

Base Price: The unit price before any multipliers
Current Price: Base price × fulfillment multiplier
For monthly billing/weekly delivery: Current = Base × 4
For pay-per-delivery: Current = Base × 1

Discount Preservation: By default, this endpoint preserves existing discount cycles:

Percentage discounts adjust to new base price
Fixed discounts remain at same dollar amount
Discount schedule (after X cycles) unchanged

Prepaid Subscription Handling: For prepaid subscriptions (billing interval > delivery interval):

Automatically calculates fulfillment multiplier
Updates current price accordingly
Ensures correct billing amounts

Post-Update Actions:

Build-a-Box discount recalculation
Product discount synchronization
Shipping price updates
Customer email notifications
Activity log creation

Important Notes:

Price changes apply to future orders only
Cannot set price below $0.01
Maximum 2 discount cycles preserved
No update if price unchanged

Authentication: Requires valid X-API-Key header
