## Mutations

  mutation

  Enables an app to charge a store for features or services on a per-use basis. The usage charge value is counted towards the `cappedAmount` limit that was specified in the `appUsagePricingDetails` field when the app subscription was created. If you create an app usage charge that causes the total usage charges in a billing interval to exceed the capped amount, then a `Total price exceeds balance remaining` error is returned.
