Introduction

A Subscription Plan allows merchants to define subscription based purchase options for products.This feature enables customers to select a delivery frequency such as daily, weekly, or monthly, removing the need to place repeat orders manually.

Subscription plans help how often a product is delivered and whether it can be purchased as a subscription only or as a one-time purchase alongside a subscription.

Why It Matters

Subscription plans help merchants to manage orders in a structured way.

They ensure consistent order schedules, predictable revenue, and reduced customer effort during repeat purchases.

Key operational benefits include:

  • Standardized subscription frequency management

  • Clear separation between subscription-only and mixed purchase products

  • Improved customer retention through automated deliveries
