appSubscriptionTrialExtend

mutation

Requires This must be a third party developed application that you can access.

Extends the trial period for an existing app subscription, giving merchants additional time to evaluate premium features before committing to paid billing. This mutation provides flexibility in trial management and can improve conversion rates by accommodating merchant needs.

Trial extensions are particularly valuable when merchants need more time to fully evaluate complex features, experience technical setup delays, or require additional approval processes within their organization before committing to paid subscriptions.

Use the AppSubscriptionTrialExtend mutation to:

Accommodate merchant requests for additional evaluation time
Compensate for service interruptions during trial periods
Support complex enterprise evaluation and approval workflows
Implement customer success strategies that improve trial-to-paid conversion
Handle technical onboarding delays that impact trial effectiveness

The extension modifies the existing trial end date, allowing continued access to subscription features without immediate billing. This approach maintains subscription continuity while providing merchants the flexibility they need for thorough feature evaluation.

Trial extension strategies and conversion techniques are covered in the offer free trials guide.
