an amazing sales channel that is so easy to setup and manage. Many customers don't want the hype of a club but would jump at the chance to receive regular shipments of their favorite products and get discounts for subscribing frequency. A perfect solution that does not take an army to setup and manage.

This is a nightmare and should just be taken off as an option. Use a different subscription app if you're wanting to do them.

Great app makes subscriptions really easy. Would be great if emails were included in the download.

Feature request — allow merchants to set which purchase option is pre-selected (EU/French consumer law issue) Hello, I run a Shopify store in France and I use Shopify Subscriptions. On the product page, the subscription option is pre-selected by default, and the one-time purchase option requires an active click to be chosen. As far as I can tell from the app block settings, there is no way for a merchant to change this — the settings only expose widget style, colours, borders and the policy URL. This is a problem under EU law. Article 22 of Directive 2011/83/EU requires the trader to obtain the consumer's *express consent* to any payment, and states that consent cannot be inferred from default options the consumer must reject. A recurring payment commitment that is selected by default, and which the customer must actively deselect, falls squarely within that concern. In France, the DGCCRF enforces this strictly, and pre-ticked options are a recognised dark pattern. The consequence is that French and EU merchants currently cannot use the default behaviour of the app without taking on legal risk — and disabling the subscription widget entirely is the only workaround. My request is simple: add a merchant-level setting to choose which option is pre-selected, with "one-time purchase" available as the default. Ideally, also allow "no option pre-selected", which is the safest configuration under EU law. This would be a small setting on your side and would remove a real compliance obstacle for every merchant selling into the European Union. Thank you, Julien Salut —

Not usable. No matter what I do, when you try to add an item to the cart, it says "Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan." I've contacted support and they have no idea what's going on either and that it's a backend problem only they can fix.

Work on Shopify Subscriptions?
Any amount puts this listing above the review-data order, on the board and in Selling products. Every amount and every click is printed in public. Paying also opens a private page for this listing – that is where the badge for your site, the share card and your deal live. Everything you can do here, including what money cannot buy and how to get this listing corrected or taken down.
Not ready to pay for anything? Take the badge – it shows this listing’s live rank on your own site, it is free, and it always was.
Claiming is free and it shows: the listing turns gold in every list – the same highlight a paid card carries – with a Claimed badge, in the exact place its reviews put it. It also earns the only followed link on this site: a claimed listing that has paid nothing links to its own website dofollow – a paid placement never does, because a link that was paid for is an ad. Claiming moves nothing.
