Shopify Subscriptions

I've never written a review on a shopify app, even when it's been bad, but this one is beyond bad. We used it when it was in Beta with the hope and promise of improvements when it became available to everyone, but the app hasn't changed at all from the awful beta to now. We have almost zero control over settings, the only thing we can update on our end is how many payment attempts before the subscription is cancelled. It's embarrassing that this is a native shopify app. I know that app creation isn't a simple thing, but there are apps out there that already exist and do a lot better, it seems wild from a user perspective that they would get this so wrong. It has been a nightmare for our team to try to manage, there is no way to search within the app, there is no way to control user access or how they can manage their subscriptions. This app is basically unusable and the amount of band aids and workarounds we have is such a huge time and money suck that we regret switching. If there were any communication at all on upcoming updates we may feel a bit better, but the communication is absolutely zero. It has honestly made us consider leaving shopify altogether, that's how frustrating the whole experience with this app has been. I really really hope for improvements soon.

I wanted to switch over to Shopify's app to make it a more streamlined experience but there just isn't the functionality needed yet. As another reviewer has said there is no way to choose what day a customer will be charge or when their product will be shipped.

Plus the subscription widget seemed to duplicate the options which must be some kind of glitch. Still some work to be done but I'm hoping in the future I will be able to change my review once functionality has increased.

Please allow multiple shipping options! We have different shipping tiers on Shopify so I don't understand why that can't just carry through to Shopify Subscriptions since this is all under Shopify.

Also, we have tried importing our subscriber list and since the shipping price is wrong, we were told to delete the app for 72 hours to clear our list and start over. Did that and canceled subscribers are still showing up in our contracts dashboard meaning we have duplicates inhibiting us from selling subscriptions to customers.

Support - please help!

Minimal ability to edit the text, leading to confusion over terms. Specifically, the bottom text about cancel/pause/renew -- very handy, agree with it entirely on principle, I wanted to (but could not) edit the text to point out that this is for the subscription purchase and not the one-off. The formatting left it a bit vague.

Colors do not pull dynamically from BRAND, which feels an odd and uncomfortable choice to leave off.

Unsure when subscriptions bill -- the first of the month? The day customers sign up? This is not a setting nor was easy to find out when installing the app.

Options were unclear. I can add an option to send weekly or monthly or annually, I assume that's how often to customer gets charged? Would request clarification on wording in the dashboard so I can offer better thoughts. At first I took it as "oh, customer can be charged for 3 months, and then I'll mail... once... a month... no that's not right..."

While installed, there was a conflict where the subscription app was duplicating in my footer. This is not a mark-off of the app, may be a theme issue, but mentioning it for dev exploration.

The checklist in the backend upon install did not check off steps as I was going through them, which lead to considerable worry and time spent over exploration: "Am I doing this right, is something not clicking, what is happening."

Overall, the idea is GREAT as a starter. The execution needs review, the backend communication needs review.

Will keep an eye on app to see if work continues.

It's a good start for this app, however there are a few things which need to be added or adjusted:

- More frontend design options (very limited at this point, own css customizations would be helpful)

- Options for customers to select dates for delivery and payment.

Good, the only thing is say you can’t or customers can’t choose the exact date they want the product recurring charge to be on. Hopefully this will come in the next update, other than that’s its good for a free subscription app
Also it’s not knowing since the update I’ve updated the inventory but still not working

La consiglio per la semplicità di utilizzo, è sviluppata da Shopify quindi perfettamente compatibile e gratuita. Dovreste implementare la possibilità di pubblicizzarla con delle email automatiche e con dei banner posizionabili nel sito

Good in theory, but not quite ready (for me).

I've played around with this and the customer-side is not very intuitive. First, upon checkout confirmation, the 'go to subscriber portal' did not take me to the Shopify subscriber portal (I am currently using another app, but had it turned off for this test). Then, once I did get into the portal, I wasn't able to manage anything other than "skip" following deliveries.

Now, I am a service-based membership model, so I don't have anything to 'deliver', so for future iterations of this app, I would love to be able to change the 'delivery' title on the listing to a custom title. I also need to be able to have a customer purchase, then the system auto-tag the customer (and transaction, ideally), so that I can properly set up the automations I need to provide them discounts to the shop offers as well as other inclusions.

I really would love to utilize a Shopify-native app for my membership, so I won't be getting rid of Shopify Subscriptions yet, but will be watching closely for updates. (Pretty please, Shopify team!)

Great and super easy to setup app, wish they released it million years ago. the only feedback i have is bit more customization for the widget itself, like that "Subscription policy" under the bordered box may confuse some thinking they are getting billed when they select one-time purchase, that copy needs to either get inside that box or better yet, show/hide when customer selects one-time or any of the subscriptions. More color(background on select) customizations would be nice too but it's ok for now, i am sure they'll improve it in no time.

The app works fine, but the choice between buy it once and subscribe also shows at the bottom of my online store, below the footer... is there a fix for this? Other than that it works well for our simple subscription needs
