Introduction
Order-Based Series Subscriptions allow merchants to offer products or courses that are delivered in a specific sequence based on the number of completed orders. Each new order in the subscription triggers the next item in the series.
This feature is commonly used when products must follow a predefined order or progression, such as structured course modules or step-by-step product delivery.
Why It Matters
Order-Based Series Subscriptions help merchants control the sequence in which products are delivered. This ensures structured fulfillment, predictable order progression, and a consistent customer experience for sequential offerings.
This feature is particularly useful for:
Course-based subscriptions delivered module by module
Sequential product delivery (e.g., Step 1, Step 2, Step 3)
Progressive subscription programs based on order count
