Hi all! Regarding the app subscription, I have a few questions

We will be using this for creating app subscriptions:https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/mutations/appSubscriptionCreate

Currently, our app is on a one-time plan, and we want to switch it to a yearly subscription plan.

1. What general actions do we need to take?
2. Let’s say a user subscribes, and later we want to increase the price charged to this customer. Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to increase the price for subscribed users under the same subscription ID, or do they need to cancel and subscribe again?
3. We want our previous customers who purchased the one-time plan to still have access to the app, but also allow them to purchase a subscription (to access certain features in our app). For new customers, we want full access to the app to be entirely subscription-based. Is this possible?
4. In case of subscription after cancellation or app uninstallation, does Shopify allow access to the app?
5. Is it possible to reactivate the subscription without taking another payment?

6. If a user uninstalls the app and later reinstalls it, will they need to purchase a new subscription at the current price, even if the pricing has increased?

Hi @mtalhaseker 

You can create a new plan and hide your current one-time plan, and old merchants who have already purchased it can still use it as a one-time option, while new merchants can upgrade to the yearly plan.
