Simple subscriptions without usage charges can move in one click via the dashboard, while complex cases like usage-based subscriptions, price adjustments, and private plans require the `shopify app subscription-migrations` CLI commands. Subscriptions transition at the start of the next billing cycle without requiring merchants to re-approve charges. Apps already on Shopify App Pricing are unaffected. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
