Subscription contract cannot be updated if there is a current or upcoming billing cycle contract edit. Error on Combine Subscription contract

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,

we’re exploring how to combine subscription contracts in Shopify. Specifically, We have a use case where a customer may be subscribed to multiple products with different billing frequencies—one on a weekly schedule and another on a monthly schedule.

When the billing and delivery dates for these subscriptions align within the same week, we’d like to combine them into a single order and shipment for that period to streamline fulfillment.

We’ve referred to the Shopify documentation on combining subscription contracts:

but getting error while updating the combined subscriptions:

Error: Subscription contract cannot be updated if there is a current or upcoming billing cycle contract edit.

Has anyone successfully handled this scenario, and are there any challenges or tips to be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @WebcontriveApps!

Based on the error message you are getting, it looks like you’re running in to this limitation mentioned here

  • If the contract has a current or future billing cycle with committed edits, then you can’t update the source subscription contract until you delete all of the edits.
