Can You Do Monthly Subscriptions on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:22 pm

As an ecommerce platform, Shopify offers users a lot of flexibility when it comes to setting up their stores. This includes the ability to set up monthly subscriptions for customers.

The good news is that yes, you can definitely do monthly subscriptions on Shopify! This can be a great way to offer customers a recurring service or product, and make some extra revenue in the process.

To set up a monthly subscription on Shopify, you’ll first need to create a subscription product in your store. This can be done from the “Products” section of your Shopify admin. Once you’ve created your subscription product, you’ll need to add it to a shopping cart and checkout page in your store.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Shopify to set up monthly subscriptions for your business, be aware that there are some potential risks and drawbacks. One of the biggest potential problems is that Shopify’s subscription system is not integrated with its payment processing system. This means that if you have a problem with your payment processor (e.g., your credit card is declined), your subscription could be interrupted, and you would need to manually resubscribe your customers. Additionally, Shopify’s subscription system does not currently support automatic renewal, so you would need to manually renew each customer’s subscription each month.

There are a few different ways that you can go about this, but one option is to use the Subscriptions app from the Shopify app store. This app will allow you to create a subscription button that can be added to your shopping cart and checkout pages.

Once you’ve got everything set up, it’s just a matter of promoting your monthly subscription to your customers! You can do this through social media, email marketing, or even just by adding a banner to your website.

If you’re looking for a way to offer customers a recurring service or product, then setting up monthly subscriptions on Shopify is definitely worth considering!
