# Our Billing API is now supported in GraphQL

You can now leverage the GraphQL Admin API to implement billing for your app.

***

The GraphQL Billing API enables you to manage all forms of purchases using GraphQL.

In addition to having all the features of our REST Billing API, the GraphQL Billing API comes with a few extras:

* Purchases are auto-activated, which means that you’ll no longer have to manually activate them after a merchant accepts it.
* [Webhook subscriptions](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/graphql-admin-api/reference/mutation/webhooksubscriptioncreate) can be created, which means you can receive notifications when the status of a charge changes.

We’re excited to bring new billing features to your apps via the GraphQL Billing API. If you haven’t implemented billing for your app, now is the perfect time to get started.

**What does this mean for my existing app?**

This does not affect any existing REST implementations of billing.

**Where can I learn more?**

To learn more about this feature, please see our [Billing API guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/billing-api).
