Shopify Subscription Strategy
Tax excluded.
Turn one-time buyers into repeat revenue with a smooth customer experience.
Our Shopify subscription strategy service designs and implements a subscription model that fits your products and customers. We define the offer structure, select and configure a leading subscription app, and optimize the on-site experience so customers can subscribe, pause, skip, or manage deliveries without friction. The result is higher AOV, stronger conversion rates, and a more predictable LTV engine you can scale.
Increase AOV: Encourage larger baskets with subscribe-and-save, prepay plans, and bundle subscriptions.
Lift conversions: Clear incentives and simple controls reduce hesitation at checkout.
Boost LTV and retention: Flexible pause and skip options cut churn and extend customer lifespan.
Stabilize revenue: Recurring orders improve forecasting and inventory planning.
Subscriptions will help you recover your marketing costs faster with predictable, recurring revenue.
App selection and setup
We choose, install, and configure a best-fit subscription app for your store and handle all vendor communication end to end.
Configure up to 3 subscription types
We define and configure up to three plan types. We then assign the correct plan to the products you specify.
Branded subscription widget
We enable the product page widget and align its basic styles with your theme so customers can choose a subscription seamlessly. Advanced styling is not included.
Customer subscription dashboard
We integrate the customer subscription portal in the Account page with controls like pause, skip, and frequency changes based on your subscription settings.
Customer notifications
We set the app’s built-in emails for renewals, upcoming charges, and failed payments.
Operational rules
We configure shipping, taxes, and discount stacking in line with your store policies.
Soft launch and rollout
We launch on one product to monitor behavior, then roll out to the remaining products once performance is confirmed.
Training and handover
We provide a short admin walkthrough, simple documentation, and pointers to the app’s performance dashboard.
30-day support
Our support window begins once all subscription plans you have approved to go live are fully published. During those 30 days we cover any setup-related issues.
Deliverable
A fully functional subscription system live on your store. Plans applied to your chosen products, a branded widget on product pages, the customer portal embedded in Accounts, built-in emails and other settings configured, and access to the app dashboard for ongoing tracking. We handle setup and testing so your team does not have to.
Subscriptions turn one-time buyers into repeat revenue. Lift AOV, improve conversion, and grow LTV with a flexible plan customers control.

Will subscriptions work for my niche?
They work best for products with repeatable need or replenishment. We validate fit and structure offers that make sense for your audience.
Which app do you use?
Can customers pause or skip?
Yes. We enable flexible controls to reduce churn and support customer preference without canceling.
How long does it take?
Most setups launch in 7 to 12 business days, depending on complexity and review speed.
What is not included in this service?
There are some limitations with this service that are outlined below:
- Up to 3 subscription types are included. Additional types can be quoted.
- Widget styling includes basic theme matching only. Advanced CSS or custom UI is out of scope.
- No custom portal redesigns, custom code development, or bespoke UI beyond standard app components. These can be quoted.
- No complex migrations between subscription apps in the base scope. Migration can be added as a paid service.
- No full email automation builds (for example, Klaviyo flows). Only the subscription app’s built-in notification emails are set up.
- No advanced analytics besides the dashboard made available by the app.
- No new product content (copy, media, product setup).
- Third-party app fees and theme/app licensing costs are paid by you.
- After the 30-day support window (which starts once all approved subscription plans are fully live), ongoing assistance must be handled by the app’s support team or can continue with us under a paid support option.
Can you help migrate my subscriptions to another app?
If you want to migrate your subscriptions to a new app, we can help you and we will quote it separately. Please contact us for a custom quote.
What do you need to start?
Shopify collaborator access, a list of eligible products and initial pricing, current discounts and shipping profiles, any loyalty or stacking constraints, and your preferred incentives or blackout rules.
What is the process and timeline?
After selecting the best app and offers for your store, we handle the full implementation and configuration, including all offers, user experience details, and business logic. Next, we conduct thorough quality assurance testing across purchase flows, customer portals, and dunning management. Once everything is validated, we launch softly, monitor results closely, and keep a rollback plan in place. Most projects are completed within 7 to 12 business days after we receive access.
How do we communicate during the project?
All project communication happens via email or productivity tools such as Google Docs and Spreadsheets so we have a proper record of all the progress and requests. We can offer videocalls for a fee if you prefer. We do not offer phone service. We reply to all your inquiries within one business day.
"Melissa and the team are quick to communicate, exchange information in a detailed format that leaves little room for misunderstanding and delivered on a few design and integration issues that were stumping us in the time we agreed to. Great experience. Will definitely be working with them again."
