Please only use this feature if you want different shipping rates for ONLY subscription products (different than what you currently offer for one-time purchases).
EXAMPLE: You want to offer FREE SHIPPING OR a special Flat Rate for only subscription products.
Otherwise, no action is needed. Shopify will use your regular shipping rates for subscription products, so you're all set!
In this example, I am creating free shipping for all USA orders, but you can create your own shipping rates specific to your needs.
Known Shopify Limitations:
Shopify defaults to the cheapest shipping rate for subscription products
Shopify only displays one shipping option for subscription products

PRO TIPS:
Test it out and ensure it works correctly before going live with subscriptions. Pretend you're a customer shopping on your site, add a subscription product to the cart, and checkout. to see what shipping rates Shopify displays.
You can try adding a one-time purchase to the cart along with the subscription product to see what shipping rates Shopify displays now.
Lastly, you can place a test order to see the entire subscription flow (optional).
To add international shipping rates, click "create shipping zone" and then "add a rate".
If an international customer tries to buy the product, and you don't have shipping rates set up expressly for that country, Shopify will say not available for purchase.
