What are Bulk Automations?

⚡ Bulk Automation

Bulk Automation is among the most powerful features available to Business Premium-tier (and higher) merchants on Appstle Subscriptions.

As your business grows, managing subscriptions manually becomes time-consuming and error-prone. While smaller merchants may update subscriptions one by one, those handling hundreds or thousands of active subscriptions require automation for efficiency.

🔹 Why Use Bulk Automation?

  • Save time by applying updates to multiple subscriptions simultaneously.

  • Reduce errors compared to manual edits.

  • Ensure consistency across all subscription updates.


🔹How to Access Bulk Automation

Follow these steps to run automation on multiple subscriptions at once:

  1. Log in to your Appstle Subscriptions Dashboard.

  2. In the left-hand menu, go to Subscriptions.

  3. Select the contract you want to work with.

  4. Locate the Automation feature.

  5. Select the automation you want to run.



🔹 What Can Be Automated in Bulk?

Using Bulk Automation, you can update key subscription details, such as:

⚠️ Important Note
For best performance, please run Bulk Automation with a maximum of 200 contracts at a time.
Running more than 200 contracts in a single automation may result in delays or errors.
