Graphql admin api - App Subscription Create - One-time discount

Hi all,

Currently creating an app subscription, I want to implement a one-time discount, but something is confusing me. Will the next bill (2025) be charged at the full price, or will the 2026 bill be at the full price? As shown in the screenshot, it states: 7.00 USD every year until Dec 02, 2026.

If it really starts charging at full price from 2026 onwards, how can I fix this? I want the next one to be charged at full price.

I thought this field should be set like this for a discount only 1 time, but should I follow a different approach?

Thanks for the reply!

Actually, when creating this charge, we initially see the statement “$3.00 off 1 charge.” However, when reviewing the subscription details later, it seems to behave differently (perhaps Shopify is displaying it incorrectly, but I’m not entirely sure).

Hey @mtalhaseker . I’m actually running into the same issue right now. Have you found a solution yet?

Hi @diegonakamashi .

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any. I also reached out to Shopify Partner Support, but I haven’t received a solution yet.
