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

NICE APP HOPE IT WILL BE A BEST TOOL FOR BUSINESS PROMOTION
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
Hi, we appreciate your feedback about anchor dates and the ability to select multiple shipping options.
We have informed our development team about adding them for potential future updates.
We value your contribution towards the evolution of our app!

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?
Hi, glad to hear you are excited about using the Subscription app!
You can set up customer management in Shopify's customer accounts.
If you have new customer accounts active, customers can log in to their account from your online store navigation and manage their subscriptions. If you have classic customer accounts, then you can share the subscription management url to give customers access to manage their own subscriptions.
Customers with new customer accounts or classic customer accounts can manage their subscriptions by clicking Manage your subscription from your automated subscription email notifications. These are automatically turned on when you download the app and you can edit them from the Settings section in the Subscription section of the app.
Turn on subscription management in your Shopify admin settings to allow customers to manage their subscriptions.
Steps:
From the Shopify admin, go to Settings > Customers.
Under New customer accounts in the Manage subscriptions section, click Turn on.
Optional: You can add the Subscriptions page link.
You can find out more information on the help center here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/purchase-options/shopify-subscriptions/customer-experience#subscription-management-for-customers
Hope this helps and don't hesitate to reach out to support if you have more questions.

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.
Hello,
We apologize that you are having trouble using the app.
Our app is compatible with a few gateways and not only native shopify payment gateway. You can find more information about it here - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/purchase-options/shopify-subscriptions/setup
If you need more help or are looking for a specific payment gateway to be supported, please contact our support team at for assistance. We're here to help.

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
Ciao,
Grazie per aver dedicato del tempo per fornirci un feedback.
Siamo felici che tu possa usarlo facilmente! Terremo in mente le idee che hai condiviso mentre continuiamo a far evolvere la nostra app.
Grazie per il tuo contributo alla continua evoluzione della nostra app.

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.
Hi there,
We apologize for having a poor experience using Shopify Subscriptions.
For the application of discounts, we would recommend turning on the offer discounts option within the app.
You can find guidance on migrating from 3P apps in our documentation here - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/purchase-options/shopify-subscriptions/import-export
Hope this helps. But please feel free to reach out to us if you need more assistance. We are here to help!
