GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting

Hey!

When I try to use the mutation discountCodeFreeShippingCreate (API version 2025-07), I encounter the following issue:

Request:

ShopifyFreeShippingDiscountCodeCreateRequest(query=mutation discountCodeFreeShippingCreate(
  $freeShippingCodeDiscount: DiscountCodeFreeShippingInput!
) {
  discountCodeFreeShippingCreate(
    freeShippingCodeDiscount: $freeShippingCodeDiscount
  ) {
    codeDiscountNode {
      id
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      code
      message
    }
  }
}
, variables=ShopifyFreeShippingDiscountCodeVariables(freeShippingCodeDiscount=ShopifyFreeShippingCodeDiscount(appliesOncePerCustomer=false, appliesOnOneTimePurchase=true, appliesOnSubscription=false, code=RFSHIP2025, combinesWith=ShopifyDiscountCodeCombinesWith(productDiscounts=true, orderDiscounts=true, shippingDiscounts=true), customerSelection=ShopifyDiscountCodeCustomerSelection(all=true, customers=null, customerSegments=null), destination=ShopifyFreeShippingDestination(all=true, countries=null), endsAt=2026-09-09T16:29:51.696342-04:00[America/New_York], maximumShippingPrice=null, minimumRequirement=null, recurringCycleLimit=null, startsAt=2025-09-09T16:29:51.696342-04:00[America/New_York], title=Test, usageLimit=1)))

Response:

{
  "discountCodeFreeShippingCreate": {
    "codeDiscountNode": null,
    "userErrors": [
      {
        "field": [
          "freeShippingCodeDiscount",
          "appliesOnSubscription"
        ],
        "code": "INVALID",
        "message": "applies_on_subscription field is not permitted without the shop using subscriptions."
      },
      {
        "field": [
          "freeShippingCodeDiscount",
          "appliesOnOneTimePurchase"
        ],
        "code": "INVALID",
        "message": "applies_on_one_time_purchase field is not permitted without the shop using subscriptions."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey @RapFame_Shop, if you remove the appliesOnSubscription=false from your variables does it work?

Just removed these two properties (not set false, but remove overall) and everything start working, thank you!
