Verified steps

  1. Call `sellingPlanGroupCreate` with a `SellingPlanGroupInput` that includes `name`, `merchantCode` (a unique identifier for your app's plan group), and a `sellingPlans` array containing at least one `SellingPlanInput`
  2. For each selling plan, define `name`, `options` (e.g., `[{name: "Delivery every", value: "1 Month"}]`), `billingPolicy` (either `SellingPlanRecurringBillingPolicyInput` with `interval` and `intervalCount`), and `deliveryPolicy` (recurring with the same cadence)
  3. Optionally include a `pricingPolicies` array to define a percentage or fixed discount for subscribers — use `SellingPlanRecurringPricingPolicyInput` with `adjustmentType: PERCENTAGE` and `adjustmentValue: {percentage: 10.0}`
  4. After creating the group, associate it with products or variants using `sellingPlanGroupAddProducts` or `sellingPlanGroupAddProductVariants` mutations, passing the plan group GID and the product/variant GIDs
  5. Verify the association by querying `product.sellingPlanGroups` on a linked product via the Storefront API to confirm the plan appears at checkout
  6. Test subscription checkout by selecting the selling plan in a storefront and confirming the discounted price and billing cadence display correctly
