## Mutations with this payload

* [subscription​Billing​Attempt​Create](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/subscriptionBillingAttemptCreate)

  mutation

  Creates a billing attempt to charge for a [`SubscriptionContract`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionContract). The mutation processes either the payment for the current billing cycle or for a specific cycle, if selected.

  The mutation creates an [`Order`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Order) when successful. Failed billing attempts include a [`processingError`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/subscriptionBillingAttemptCreate#returns-subscriptionBillingAttempt.fields.processingError) field with error details.

  ***

  **Tip:** Use the \<a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/subscriptionBillingAttemptCreate#arguments-subscriptionBillingAttemptInput.fields.idempotencyKey">\<code>\<span class="PreventFireFoxApplyingGapToWBR">idempotency\<wbr/>Key\</span>\</code>\</a> to ensure the billing attempt executes only once, preventing duplicate charges if the request is retried.

  ***

  You can target a specific billing cycle using the [`billingCycleSelector`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/SubscriptionBillingCycleSelector) to bill past or future cycles. The [`originTime`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionBillingAttempt#field-SubscriptionBillingAttempt.fields.originTime) parameter adjusts fulfillment scheduling for attempts completed after the expected billing date.
