## Possible returns

* Subscription​Draft

  [Subscription​Draft](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionDraft)

  The `SubscriptionDraft` object represents a draft version of a [subscription contract](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SubscriptionContract) before it's committed. It serves as a staging area for making changes to an existing subscription or creating a new one. The draft allows you to preview and modify various aspects of a subscription before applying the changes. This object is deprecated in favor of the [SubscriptionContractCalculation API](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/purchase-options/subscriptions/contracts/migrate-to-subscription-calculation-api).

  Use the `SubscriptionDraft` object to:

  * Add, remove, or modify subscription lines and their quantities
  * Manage discounts (add, remove, or update manual and code-based discounts)
  * Configure delivery options and shipping methods
  * Set up billing and delivery policies
  * Manage customer payment methods
  * Add custom attributes and notes to generated orders
  * Configure billing cycles and next billing dates
  * Preview the projected state of the subscription

  Each `SubscriptionDraft` object maintains a projected state that shows how the subscription will look after the changes are committed. This allows you to preview the impact of your modifications before applying them. The draft can be associated with an existing subscription contract (for modifications) or used to create a new subscription.

  The draft remains in a draft state until it's committed, at which point the changes are applied to the subscription contract and the draft is no longer accessible.
