# Subscriptions

## Overview

Advanced Free Shipping offers powerful tools for creating subscription-specific shipping discounts using the Has Subscription condition and Purchase Type settings.

## Has Subscription Condition

Use the [Has Subscription](/advanced-free-shipping/conditions-cart-and-order/has-subscription.md) condition to check if the cart contains subscription items:

* **Contains subscription** - At least one subscription item
* **Does not contain subscription** - No subscription items
* **Subscription only** - All items are subscriptions
* **Mixed** - Both subscription and one-time items

## Common Strategies

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://responsive-media.gitbook.io/advanced-free-shipping/advanced-features/subscriptions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
