Shopify Subscriptions

It's a good start, but the functionality is extremely limited for someone coming from one of the paid subscription apps. For example you cannot choose a specific date a customer will be charged for their subscription every month. Hopefully they will keep developing features and add options in the future.
Edit: just changed my review to one star because customers only get a single shipping option, no matter how many options you have available

I really, really, really want to be able to use this native subscription app, BUT... there is no way that I can see that a customer can add or remove products from their account portal.

Am I missing something?

Just installed then immediately uninstalled as it failed at the first hurdle, I would have hoped that these issues would have been ironed out beforehand, considering how long it has taken to be released.

As many have already mentioned - I have been waiting for this app to come out for ages. Thrilled it is finally here.
-
The interface is clean and simple and looks great on our site. That's an awesome plus.
-
The customer-facing interface and account management are clean and function very well. This was always a big problem we had with other paid subscription apps. We want to make it really easy and transparent for customers to view and edit their subscriptions.
-
The only negative piece of the app was that porting over previous customer data from other subscription apps was overly complicated and very painful. While there is some documentation, you will need to translate the info from your previous tool, and the process can be very manual. That being said - the Shopify support was outstanding, and they helped us work through these issues. Without Shopify's support working through the import of old data, we would have had to ask all customers to sign up again, which would have been painful.
-
My only immediate request for the app in future updates is that the analytics become a bit more detailed. It would be really nice to be able to drill into the data.
-
I would give this app 5-Stars because a) it's great to have a simple native subscription app, b) it's great that it's free, and c) Shopify support was fantastic as we worked on transferring over.

I installed this app to try and see if I could move our company club subscriptions in house - I followed all the steps and couldn't even get the subscription option button to appear on the PDP.

After looking into this I have found that the app is not compatible with third party payment gateways, and can only be used with the Native Shopify payment gateways - which are not supported in South Africa - essentially making this app unusable in South Africa.

Minimal ability to edit the text, leading to confusion over terms. Specifically, the bottom text about cancel/pause/renew -- very handy, agree with it entirely on principle, I wanted to (but could not) edit the text to point out that this is for the subscription purchase and not the one-off. The formatting left it a bit vague.

Colors do not pull dynamically from BRAND, which feels an odd and uncomfortable choice to leave off.

Unsure when subscriptions bill -- the first of the month? The day customers sign up? This is not a setting nor was easy to find out when installing the app.

Options were unclear. I can add an option to send weekly or monthly or annually, I assume that's how often to customer gets charged? Would request clarification on wording in the dashboard so I can offer better thoughts. At first I took it as "oh, customer can be charged for 3 months, and then I'll mail... once... a month... no that's not right..."

While installed, there was a conflict where the subscription app was duplicating in my footer. This is not a mark-off of the app, may be a theme issue, but mentioning it for dev exploration.

The checklist in the backend upon install did not check off steps as I was going through them, which lead to considerable worry and time spent over exploration: "Am I doing this right, is something not clicking, what is happening."

Overall, the idea is GREAT as a starter. The execution needs review, the backend communication needs review.

Will keep an eye on app to see if work continues.

It's a good start for this app, however there are a few things which need to be added or adjusted:

- More frontend design options (very limited at this point, own css customizations would be helpful)

- Options for customers to select dates for delivery and payment.

La consiglio per la semplicità di utilizzo, è sviluppata da Shopify quindi perfettamente compatibile e gratuita. Dovreste implementare la possibilità di pubblicizzarla con delle email automatiche e con dei banner posizionabili nel sito

This app will not apply discounts as directed when subscription items are placed in the cart. Support from Shopify as a whole is poor. Trying to obtain help in support results in promises to email back with solutions, which never occurs. Additionally, attempts to get assistance with issues migrating customers from a 3rd party app was also unhelpful and excusatory.

So excited that shopify created a native app for subscriptions. The pricing for third party subscription apps wasn't sustainable for the scale of my store. Thank you Shopify!
