Recurring discount on any product page. The default pattern for consumables — coffee, supplements, pet food.

Subscription Box
Curated

Monthly curated boxes with rotating contents. Mystery boxes, themed drops, seasonal collections.

Build-a-Box
Bundle builder

Let customers compose their own recurring box from your catalog. Mix-and-match bundles with per-item rules.

Sidekick AI
AI-powered

Ask Shopify's Sidekick chat strategic questions like "how do I grow MRR?" — get ranked action plans drawn from live subscription data.

Customer Portal
Self-service

Branded portal for subscribers to edit, pause, skip, swap, or cancel — without filing a support ticket.

Pause, Skip & Swap
Retention

One-click flexibility for subscribers — pause for a month, skip the next order, or swap products mid-cycle.

Payment Recovery
Billing

Automatic dunning with smart retries and recovery emails — most failed payments rescue themselves.

Subscription Management
Operator tooling

Admin tooling for editing, pausing, swapping, and bulk-actioning subscriber contracts at scale.

Failed Payment Recovery
Billing

Smart retries with exponential backoff plus customer-facing recovery emails — most card declines self-rescue.

Annual Subscriptions
Acquisition

Prepaid 12-month subscriptions — better LTV, better cash flow, lower churn. Plus the legal disclosure pattern that keeps you compliant.

Gift Subscriptions
Acquisition

Let customers gift a subscription — one-time payment, recipient-managed delivery. Especially strong for the holiday season.

Subscription Bundles
Acquisition

Multi-product recurring bundles with merchant-defined rules. Bundle pricing, mix-and-match, locked vs flexible contents.

Free Trial Subscriptions
Acquisition

X-day trials that auto-bill after the trial period. Trial-to-paid conversion psychology + auto-renewal compliance copy.

Checkout Upsell
Conversion

Subscription upsells right at checkout — built on Shopify Functions. Post-purchase upsells, what converts here vs portal.

Cross-sell Recommendations
AOV

Algorithmic cross-sell on the portal and product pages. The 'next box' recommendation slot that lifts AOV without extra ads.

Loyalty & Rewards Points
Retention

Tenure-based loyalty ladder + recurring points per delivery. Longer subscribers unlock bigger discounts — the math that compounds retention.

Refer-a-Friend Program
Acquisition

Subscription-aware referrals with attribution tracking and fraud prevention. Why subscription-RAF outperforms one-time-RAF.

Win-back Campaigns
Retention

Post-cancellation 30/60/90-day win-back sequences. Offer cadence that recovers subscribers without burning your sender domain.

AI Churn Prediction
Retention

Genuine predictive modelling — engagement signals, risk ranking, and how to act on a high-risk score before they cancel.

Frequency Optimizer
Retention

Match delivery cadence to actual consumption. Pace data + signals that flag a subscriber who should switch frequency — before they cancel.

Customer Auto-tagging
Retention

Auto-tag subscribers by status, plan, churn risk, LTV bracket. Feeds Klaviyo/Postscript flows + inventory planning.

Analytics Dashboard
Analytics

MRR, churn, LTV, cohort retention — the metrics that matter and what to act on. Real-time, multi-currency-aware.

Built-in A/B Testing
Analytics

Test pricing, widget copy, cancel-flow offers. Sample-size sizing, statistical significance, and the pitfalls unique to subscription A/B.

Revenue Forecasts
Analytics

Cohort-based revenue forecasting with retention-curve fitting. Scenario planning and where forecast accuracy breaks down.

Webhooks & Shopify Flow
Integration

Native webhook topics + Shopify Flow triggers for subscription lifecycle events. The patterns operators use for automation.

Multi-language Portal
Portal

14+ languages out of the box with editable translation strings, RTL support, and brand-translated copy that outperforms machine translation.

White-label Portal
Portal

Remove third-party branding from the customer portal — your logo, colors, fonts. What white-label DOES and DOESN'T cover.

Custom Domain Portal
Portal

portal.yourstore.com instead of a third-party subdomain — auto SSL, DNS walkthrough, and why deliverability + trust both improve.

Custom Email & SMS Providers
Portal

Postmark / SendGrid / Resend for email. Twilio / Nexmo for SMS. Deliverability, sender alignment, when defaults aren't enough.
