# Subscription Shipping Rate Name to Use Actual Rate Name

Merchants can create selling plan specific shipping rates (for subscriptions) and have those names from those rates surface in checkout.

We've added new functionality to replace the default subscription rate names (ie. "subscription shipping", "subscription pickup", "subscription local") to now expose the merchant defined rate names during checkout, admin order and in the email notification. If merchants do not create selling plan specific shipping rates then the general rate name will be surfaced in checkout.
