Introduction

Time-Based Series Subscriptions are used when product delivery depends on a defined time schedule. This feature is suitable for subscriptions such as courses or programs that are available for a specific time period selected during setup.

Merchants can configure a series where products are delivered based on dates rather than order count.

Why It Matters

Time-Based Series Subscriptions support structured delivery schedules.

They help merchants manage time-sensitive offerings with predictable fulfillment.

This ensures customers receive products only within the intended availability window.
