Hey @invokertc! There isn’t a planType field on the SellingPlan object. The terms like PAY_AS_YOU_GO, PREPAID, etc. aren’t API values but more so conceptual descriptions of how the billing and delivery policies are configured.

What you can query is the category field, which returns one of: SUBSCRIPTION, PRE_ORDER, TRY_BEFORE_YOU_BUY, or OTHER.

To determine if a subscription is “pay-as-you-go” vs “prepaid”, you need to compare the billing and delivery policy intervals:

{
  sellingPlanGroups(first: 50, query: "app_id:ALL") {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        sellingPlans(first: 10) {
          edges {
            node {
              id
              name
              category
              billingPolicy {
                ... on SellingPlanRecurringBillingPolicy {
                  interval
                  intervalCount
                }
              }
              deliveryPolicy {
                ... on SellingPlanRecurringDeliveryPolicy {
                  interval
                  intervalCount
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The logic:

  • If billing interval equals delivery interval → Pay-as-you-go (e.g., billed weekly, delivered weekly)

  • If billing interval is greater than delivery interval → Prepaid (e.g., billed every 12 weeks, delivered weekly)

The SellingPlanCategory enum and Build a selling plan docs have more details on how these policies work together.
