Once you've selected your product, you'll be taken to the subscription plan settings page. Here’s what you’ll see:
Product and Variant View: You can see the product you’ve selected, along with any variants (such as different sizes or colors).
Preview Section: This is where you can preview how the subscription plan will look to your customers.
Subscription Plan Settings: This is where the magic happens! Let’s break down the key options
Choose the Payment Type:
Pay as you go: This option lets subscribers receive their shipments every time they make a payment.
Pre-paid: This option lets subscribers pay in advance for multiple shipments
Set Delivery Frequency:
Decide how often the product will be delivered to your customers. You can set this to every few days, weeks, or months, depending on what suits your product best
1.3 Save Your Subscription Plan
After you've set everything up, don't forget to click 'Save' to ensure all your settings are applied
Step 2: Add Subscription widget to your product page
Now that you’ve set up your subscription plan, it’s time to add the subscription widget to your product page. This widget is what your customers will interact with to subscribe to your product
First, you need to enable the subscription widget on your product page:
Click on ‘Add Widget’ in the Setup Guide: This will guide you to the Shopify theme editor where you can add the widget
Enable the Widget: In the Shopify theme editor, locate the Joy Subscriptions widget and click ‘Save.’ This action will enable the widget on your product page
Step 3: See how it looks on your store
After setting everything up, it's important to preview how your subscription widget looks on your product page. This will ensure everything is displaying correctly and aligns with your store’s design
Click on ‘Go to Online Store’ in the Setup Guide: This will take you directly to your product page where the subscription widget is now active
Review the Layout: Take a moment to see how the widget looks on your product page. Make sure it's positioned correctly and that all the options are clear and easy for customers to understand
This final step helps you confirm that your subscription setup is not only functional but also visually appealing to your customers. Once you're satisfied, your subscription plan is fully ready for action!
