Introducing Smarter Shipping Sync for Subscription Contracts
We’ve enhanced how subscription contracts handle shipping requirements to improve tax calculations, delivery details, and order totals. This update ensures your subscription orders stay accurate and in sync with your product catalog.
What’s Changed
Dynamic Shipping Requirement Updates
Subscription contracts now dynamically retrieve the “requires shipping” value from the product variant for each contract line. Previously, this value was static and captured when the subscription line was added. Now, with this update, shipping requirements are always up to date when you modify your product variants.
Smarter Delivery Line Handling
Our system prevents unnecessary shipping charges by only adding delivery lines to subscription contracts when required. If none of the items in a subscription contract require shipping, no delivery line is added, leading to clearer, fairer order totals.
Why This Matters
- Tax calculations are always accurate and reflect updated shipping requirements.
- Order totals remain precise, accounting for any changes in delivery costs.
- Shipping configuration issues are identified before orders are processed.
- Subscription contracts dynamically stay in sync with your product catalog updates.
These updates are available when using the subscriptionBillingAttemptCreate mutation. They also apply to SubscriptionDraft.fields.deliveryOptions, ensuring a smoother experience for merchants and customers alike.
