  mutation

  Creates a subscription contract draft, which is an intention to create a new subscription. The draft lets you incrementally build and modify subscription details before committing them to create the actual [`SubscriptionContract`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionContract).

  The mutation requires [`Customer`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Customer) information, billing details, and contract configuration including the [`SubscriptionBillingPolicy`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionBillingPolicy) and [`SubscriptionDeliveryPolicy`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionDeliveryPolicy). You can specify the [`CustomerPaymentMethod`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CustomerPaymentMethod), the [`MailingAddress`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/MailingAddress) for shipping, and subscription intervals.

  After you create the draft, you can either modify it with the [`subscriptionDraftUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/subscriptionDraftUpdate) mutation or finalize and create the active subscription contract with [`subscriptionDraftCommit`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/subscriptionDraftCommit).
