Cyclical Products Explained
Offering cyclical product swaps such as a magazine subscription can be difficult to manage manually due to changes in issues and the need for inventory tracking.
Using the Product Swap Automation, we can offer cyclical product swaps on subscriptions such as Magazines.
For more information on the Product Swap Automation feature, you can read more here.
Creating a Cyclical Subscription Using Product Swap Automation
Add all available items to the subscription plan. These items do not need to be ready to ship or be for sale when you add them to the Subscription plan.
Go to the More tab and open the Automation Settings.
Create a Product Swap Automation to switch between magazine issues.
In this example, our Source Product is a January Magazine and our Destination Product is a February Issue.

Product Swap Automation will only work as intended with Pay-As-You-Go and Pay-As-You-Go Prepaid plan types. You can read more about different plan types here.
