Hi,
Does SellingPlan attribute not exist in OrderLineItem in Storefront API? Without it, how do you build a headless customer account page and show an order that’s a subscription?
Thanks.
Topic summary
The discussion addresses the absence of a SellingPlan attribute in the OrderLineItem object within Shopify’s Storefront API, which complicates building headless customer account pages that display subscription orders.
Current Workaround:
- Subscription information can be retrieved through the
customAttributesfield inOrderLineItem - Developers must implement custom server-side logic to parse and display subscription details from these attributes
Open Questions:
- Whether
OrderLineItemandCartLineItemshare the same custom attributes - If
OrderLineItemcustom attributes automatically inherit fromCartLineItem - How to update custom attributes when customers modify subscription frequency (e.g., changing from “every 2 weeks” to “every 4 weeks”)
The conversation remains ongoing with no definitive solution for dynamically managing subscription attribute updates.
Hi Araskavakli,
Currently he SellingPlan attribute is not directly available in the OrderLineItem object. However, you can still retrieve information about subscriptions from an order using the customAttributes field in OrderLineItem which may contain details about the subscription.
To build a headless customer account page that shows an order as a subscription, you would have to rely on these customAttributes or on your own server-side logic to track and display subscription information.
Hope this helps!

Hi Liam. Thank you for your reply.
Do OrderLineItem and CartLineItem share the same custom attributes? And does that mean the custom attribute of the OrderLineItem gets CartLineItem’s custom attributes automatically? If that is the case, how do we change the custom attribute if the customer let’s say decides to change its delivery frequency from “every 2 weeks” to “every 4 weeks”?
