Can you make it possible to purchase subscriptions in person through the POS Go machine? It is nice having the option online for customers, but some customers would prefer to start their subscription in person at our store (Dog Daycare).

It's a very basic plug-in subscription app – you get what you pay for. We have quite a few frustrations with it from the back-end, and it's not user-friendly for customers to use on the front-end either. So do your research before you commit, as you may be better paying for a subscription service with more bells and whistles.

I am using to sell a software service. So I do not actually Delivery anything. But Shopify Subscriptions uses text such as:

Delivery every 2 months, $XX flat rate

I can not find an easy way to replace the word Delivery with Charge or other phrase.

I think it would be better to let user to decide how to describe the subscription fee.

I was really excited about this and it is good for a lot of things! However, it does not offer the option to pay the full amount upfront and have the delivery be done every month. We are trying to have the option to pay in full and then have auto-generating orders populating based on that but not charging the customer every month. IDK maybe I am missing it. I am open to feedback and ideas!

Hello,

Thank you the feedback for accepting payments for pre-orders (pay in upfront and delivery in month) for subscriptions.

We have communicated your feedback to our development for future updates. Your feedback is valuable for the evolution of our app!

Um, it works. Not a lot of customization, options for customers (like change billing/shipping date, add more products, etc) and lacking on analytics and retention capabilities. Best part is - it's free. If you are just getting started its a good app. We've been using it for about 6 months now and probably to the point of needing a more robust app that has more flexibility and features.

Sorry guys. Did you announce the Subscription App last Summer? Yes.
I know it is hard work. I like to make everything simple. Your app is simple. It is no problem.
What is the problem? The widget. The visible part for our customers. The translation needs to be fixed fast. I wonder why the copy of the widget is visible at the bottom of the page.
And a tip for customization? Allow selecting the primary option for a subscription. Just now, only a one-time purchase is possible. Thank you for your fast repair.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to review and provide us with feedback.

We have made updates that solve the problems you faced:

1.We have updated our app to support translations to local languages.

2. To ensure the correct placement of the subscription widget we recommend that

- If you are on a vintage theme, ensure that you have added the code snipped to the product template before turning on the app embed.

Adding the code snippet will ensure that the widget displays in the correct place on the product page. You'll have to add the code snipped to the appropriate section of the product template. See the vintage theme instructions on this page - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/purchase-options/shopify-subscriptions/setup#display-subscriptions-on-online-store.

-If you are on a 2.0 theme please ensure that the app embed is toggled to off. App embeds are only used for vintage themes.

Hope this helps! We thank you for feedback that helped with the continuous evolution of our app

Best,

Good in theory, but not quite ready (for me).

I've played around with this and the customer-side is not very intuitive. First, upon checkout confirmation, the 'go to subscriber portal' did not take me to the Shopify subscriber portal (I am currently using another app, but had it turned off for this test). Then, once I did get into the portal, I wasn't able to manage anything other than "skip" following deliveries.

Now, I am a service-based membership model, so I don't have anything to 'deliver', so for future iterations of this app, I would love to be able to change the 'delivery' title on the listing to a custom title. I also need to be able to have a customer purchase, then the system auto-tag the customer (and transaction, ideally), so that I can properly set up the automations I need to provide them discounts to the shop offers as well as other inclusions.

I really would love to utilize a Shopify-native app for my membership, so I won't be getting rid of Shopify Subscriptions yet, but will be watching closely for updates. (Pretty please, Shopify team!)

The app works fine, but the choice between buy it once and subscribe also shows at the bottom of my online store, below the footer... is there a fix for this? Other than that it works well for our simple subscription needs

Formatting of the app does not reflect the advertised picture.

Easy to set up but not flexible on customization.

App has two default options one for regular subscription and one for auto charge without a way to turn one off.

Would be nice to be able to edit the wording used for the subscription.

Not formatted well for mobile. Lines cut off onto a 2nd level. If you have multiple delivery options they all stack and takes up alot of room instead of having a drop down or boxes option. Cant complain too much since its free but Shopify can do alot to improve it! Im not sure Im going to use it until its better formatted.
