Shopify Subscriptions , 73 reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was very excited to see this app, however I found that it's not usable for websites that sell digital products. This, because the copy 'Delivers every ...' cannot be changed into something more meaningful (like 'renews every...'), especially for the non-EN market. Hopefully this will change in future and I will reconsider using this app.

Nice, that Shopify makes an own Subscription app which is free, but unfortunately it only works with "new customer accounts" which is pretty bad when you don't want to use these (because of bad brand experience and no design control).

-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.

I am unable to find where can I localize the subscription plan labels, for example, "Delivery every month, 10% off". I managed to localize everything except for those options.
