Shopify Subscriptions

The app is nice but at the bottom by the footer there is the subsciption options that just wont go away, too hard to setup i guess ill have to PAY for this FREE feature somewhere else. Wasted my entire day on this

The app is functional and you can't beat the cost...but it leaves a lot to be desired from a subscription app, a few of the issues we've run into:

-customers can't edit their subscriptions, so people have to cancel and resubscribe if they ever want to add items, or edit quantities - even if people wanted to 'shift' their subscription delay it by less time than skipping a whole shipment (they can only skip/pause/cancel and update billing info)

-when recurring orders are generated, they commit the needed inventory, but when the order then goes through the process and gets fulfilled the committed inventory is stuck as committed and requires a lengthy support ticket to resolve - this is happening with every SKU variant on every subscription order so it very quickly becomes a phantom inventory commitment problem

-There's no forecasting or upcoming order view, even if you export the contracts it exports in Shopify's variant ID (not our SKU#s or UPCs that we would need to cross reference for forecasting purposes)

-There's no way to contact the current subscribers or a given item with a message or new item (i.e. one item is being discontinued and replaced with a like item that they'd likely want to subscribe to)

-There's no setting/way to apply price change logic, if you have prices change, your current subscriptions are stuck at the old price unless you manually change each individual one (I understand how this might be a desired behavior, but that should at least be a setting or option "use current price" or "use original price")

-The app auto-tags orders which is handy, but we have no control over what the tags are, the logic applied, or anything....it's stuck with what the developer set (and you can't even see/change it, you just have to guess based on observed behavior)

Those are just a few of the pain points to managing it as we grow (for context we've been using this app since its 'early access' days and have several hundred active subscription contracts). But again....you can't beat the price.

It's just about OK. We had (and continue to have) glitches moving across from Recharge (that got expensive). Really basic subscription stuff like a customer wanting to postpone an order by a few days just doesn't look possible. Even the support help couldn't do it. Having significant doubts about this after a time-consuming migration. Be careful of this app - if you need anything above a super-basic sub, it's unlikely to be what you want...

A bit limited at this time. We were hoping we could do a limited time subscription (for example: a 12 mo. plan), but that is not possible. We also were desiring to send a different product or product bundle each of those months, but you are limited to the same item(s) every month.

At first this app seemed great, but half the time there are glitches when I There is no way to see data about how many people have their subscriptions active (total) for fulfillment & no way to make all the subscriptions charge on the same day every month. You cannot edit the dates at all.

This app could be really great, but it seems it was rushed and a lot of basic functions are missing or glitchy.

Easy to set up, but lacks basic functions. You can't set a minimum for how long a customer has to subscribe which is silly to me because people can just take advantage of the discount, then unsubscribe right away.

This probably has potential - but has serious limitations if you sell physical product. The biggest gap is that it will not allow the customer to select their shipping method at checkout - it just auto-selects the cheapest one and does not present any others.

Additionally it does not work with manual payment methods - does not allow your customer to pay by ACH, wire, etc..

It seems as if this was only created with low cost digital products in mind.

-Can't translate
-Subscription appear both in product page + footer
-Sometimes it can't add to cart
-There should be a dedicated subscription page with bundle selector.
-I hope shopify will improve the product because I was waiting impatiently for this app to be released.

Only good for a store that sells one item. No discount codes can be applied which means volume breaks don't work.

I wanted to switch from Skio but quickly ran into a show stopper: The delivery interval dropdown doesn't support days (my supplements come with a 45-day supply). I expected more from a company like Shopify.
