## Fields with this union

* [Selling​Plan.billingPolicy](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SellingPlan#field-SellingPlan.fields.billingPolicy)

  OBJECT

  How a product can be sold and purchased through recurring billing or deferred purchase options. Defines the specific terms for subscriptions, pre-orders, or try-before-you-buy offers, including when to bill customers, when to fulfill orders, and what pricing adjustments to apply.

  Each selling plan has billing, delivery, and pricing policies that control the purchase experience. The plan's [`options`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SellingPlan#field-SellingPlan.fields.options) and [`category`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SellingPlan#field-SellingPlan.fields.category) help merchants organize and report on different selling strategies. Plans are grouped within a [`SellingPlanGroup`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/SellingPlanGroup) that associates them with [`Product`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) and [`ProductVariant`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant) objects.

  ***

  **Caution:** Selling plans and associated records are automatically deleted 48 hours after a merchant uninstalls the \<a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/App">\<code>App\</code>\</a> that created them. Back up these records if you need to restore them later.
