Shopify Subscriptions

The Shopify Subscriptions app is easy to enable, but that’s where the positives end.

The feature set is extremely limited, with little flexibility, poor visibility into subscription issues, and insufficient tools to manage failed payments or customer experience. For a native Shopify app, this feels unfinished.

Fine for the most basic use cases. Merchants with real subscription volume or customer expectations should strongly consider paid alternatives.

It's kinda lame that Shopify couldn't have put more attention towards the only subscription service that is offered outside of the many other expensive options I examined. This really doesn't have the flexibility needed for my business. You can't even adjust the dates charged outside of skipping or shifting my a week or monthly. I can't believe how much I pay for Shopify and how little I get for that monthly payment. It's easier to cancel a subscription and start over than to edit it. My customers can't even access their end of the subscription website.

customers never understand how to manage subs themselves. Also would be great to enforce a minimum amount of orders before canceling. Subscriptions should just be baked into Shopify not needing a separate app.
