Shopify Subscriptions integration

What Shopify Subscriptions can do for your store, where it stops, and how we set it up.

Describe your setup ↗

What Shopify Subscriptions is

Shopify Subscriptions is Shopify's own app for recurring orders: weekly, monthly or yearly plans, subscription discounts and customer self-service in their account.

How Ecom Majesty works with Shopify Subscriptions

For simple subscribe-and-save it's often all you need. We check eligibility for your store, set up plans and discounts, show the subscription option clearly on the product page, and test the first order, renewals and customer changes. If you need rentals, minimum terms or build-a-box, we compare it with dedicated apps.

What we configure

  • Plans, frequencies and discounts set up
  • Subscription option shown clearly on product pages, mobile first
  • First order, renewals, skips and cancellations tested
  • A comparison with dedicated apps for complex models

Ways to set it up

  • Built in

    Shopify Subscriptions

    Recurring billing, editing, skipping, pausing and cancelling, several discount types, a product-page widget, notifications and customer self-service.

  • Existing app

    Dedicated subscription apps

    Recharge, Firmhouse and others for rentals, minimum terms, bundles and advanced retention.

Where these projects go wrong

  • The subscribe option hidden or unclear, so customers don't see the saving.
  • Using it for rentals with minimum terms, which it isn't built for.
  • Renewal emails left on Shopify's defaults.

Our experience

We haven't delivered a Shopify Subscriptions project for a client yet. This page is how we would approach one, and we check access and platform limits before quoting.

Questions

Shopify Subscriptions or Recharge?
Start with Shopify Subscriptions for simple subscribe-and-save. Move to a dedicated app when you need bundles, rentals, minimum terms or deeper retention tools.

Before we scope the work

  • Which data or customer journey needs to connect, and which system owns it?
  • What access, plan features or API permissions are available?
  • Does an existing connector cover the requirement, including failures and updates?
  • Who will maintain the connection, and how will you know it is working?

Send your current setup and one real example of the flow you need. We'll tell you whether it can be done and what it would take.
