Subscriptions Setup
Important Notice
We are NOT responsible for setting up subscriptions on your store. Subscription functionality requires complex backend systems for billing, payment processing, and subscription management that themes cannot provide. This guide provides our recommended solution only.
Our Recommendation: RecurPay (Complete Subscription System)
For a complete subscription management system with automated billing and customer portals, we recommend RecurPay - our trusted partner for subscriptions.
Why RecurPay:
- Complete subscription management with automated billing
- Flexible subscription options (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.)
- Customer portal for subscription management
- Discount and trial period support
- Seamless theme integration that works perfectly with our design
- Analytics and reporting for subscription performance
Alternative: Native Shopify Subscriptions
Shopify also offers a basic native subscription app:
Shopify Subscriptions (Free) →
Native app features:
- Basic subscription functionality
- Limited customization options
- Free to use
- Basic customer portal
However, we recommend RecurPay because:
- More advanced features and customization
- Better analytics and reporting
- Enhanced customer experience
- Superior merchant tools and automation
Important Disclaimers
Setup Support
- Theme developers do not provide subscription setup support
- Contact RecurPay support for technical help with their app
- Subscription functionality is handled by apps, not themes
Why Themes Can't Include Subscriptions
Themes don't have access to:
- Payment processing systems for recurring billing
- Database management for subscription data
- Backend services for automated billing cycles
- Customer management for subscription portals
- Integration with payment gateways for subscription handling
This is a Shopify platform limitation, not a theme restriction.
