Shopify Subscriptions

the app is good for a small business but my only complaint is i cant pick a specific day for the subscription to come out. so the day they subscribe becomes their resub date. I would love if shopify could add a option for changing the date of when the payment comes out.

The app is fine for shops with small inventories with prices that never change, nor ever run promotions.

For larger inventories.. let's just say Happy Clicking. You have to click each product individually to add it to a group. Why can't I just add collections?

Then, if you are running a short term promotion, when the customer creates the subscription, they keep the promotional price from thereon. If you put your prices up, the subscription price does not change. You have to go in and manually change each contract. I don't want to offer a fixed price to our customers. I am offering a service to make their lives easier so they don't have to visit us every month to place their orders. When our prices change, the subscription price should change. Fixed pricing would only be useful if I could set an expiry date.

This app is a disappointing reflection of the current state of affairs at Shopify. Its rushed and careless release speaks volumes about the level of disregard the company has for its non–Shopify Plus merchants. It’s painfully clear that Shopify’s priorities lie almost exclusively with their high-paying enterprise clients, while the rest of us — small to mid-sized businesses — are treated as an afterthought.

The most glaring issue? Merchants cannot even manage their subscriptions through the app. This isn’t an obscure oversight — it’s a fundamental feature. And let’s be honest: the developers are fully aware of this. These are not amateurs; they know what they’re doing. The omission is deliberate, or at best, dismissive.

Will Shopify fix this? Highly unlikely. Why would they invest in improving a freebie app that doesn't generate revenue directly, especially when it's meant for the merchants they barely acknowledge? This app feels more like a checkbox on a roadmap than a genuinely useful tool.

At the end of the day, this situation reinforces what many of us have felt for a long time: unless you’re paying for Shopify Plus, you’re not worth their time. This app isn’t just broken — it’s a symptom of a broader issue of neglect and misplaced priorities.

One of the main reasons why we switched over to Shopify was to get access to subscriptions for our customers. This app has been a huge dissapointment. It is so bad and we have almost considered not to offer subscriptions for our customers.
However we will try to find another subscription App.
- Customers can't amend their subscriptions, nor can we.
- We can't see future subscription orders, not even on the same day.
- When updating prices we have to go in on every single contract and change it manually.
Bad! Bad! Bad!

massive waste of time, loss in sales while trying to integrate with undless failure. customer supports only help was for me to wait 24 hours to see if the changes will update. absolutely aweful
