What Merchants Think

Merchants have mixed feelings about "Shopify Subscriptions". While some appreciate its user-friendly interface and simplicity, many express frustration over significant limitations, especially when dealing with more complex subscription needs. The app seems primarily catered to basic use cases, leaving more advanced users disappointed with its lack of features and flexibility.

Key Strengths

  • User-friendly setup process
  • Suitable for simple subscription models
  • Good for beginners or businesses with basic subscription needs

Common Concerns

  • Lack of API access and insufficient data analytics capabilities
  • Inability to customize subscription details or handle complex plans
  • Issues with migration and error reporting
  • Problems with inventory management and subscription order processing
  • Glitches and bugs affecting subscription updates and customer interactions
  • Limited language and customization options for international users

Final Thoughts

"Shopify Subscriptions" may serve basic needs effectively for those new to subscription models, but it falls short for businesses that demand more advanced functionality and customization. Its lack of flexibility and robust features make it less appealing to companies with intricate subscription requirements. Merchants seeking a comprehensive subscription tool might need to explore other options for a more complete solution.

Love this for our start-up. Easy, free and gets the job done. Unfortunately, you can't change billing dates or the types of subscriptions through the admin console. You also can only offer one type of subscription. I wish there was a way to have more customization.

I was waiting so long for Shopify to implement subscriptions. But It is still missing crucial features.

A few things would massively elevate it. 1) Integration with Shopify's native Bundles app so you can bundle a subscription with a physical product at will. 2) The ability to offer the first year "free" followed by a recurring charge.

Wish it had a bit more flexibility to add other products to the same subscription and the option to delay shipments rather fully pausing or skipping orders.

There could be more customization, or even simple features like the ability to swap out productions in the same collection without completely cancelling the subscription. But overall a very helpful app.

Very hard to get raw data to see what subscriptions are coming up. Not very user friendly on our end, not fantastic on the users end either

It's frustrating that Shopify Subscriptions doesn't offer better in-app analytics. Key use cases that are missing for us include by-store (physical retail) subscription pickup reporting. Each store struggles to review how by-store subscription pickups will happen in any given period. Additionally, there is little in the way of notification functionality to let us know when a new customers subscribes or cancels. We have to monitor this ourselves. Frankly, I believe this app could be so much more functional if Shopify would invest more in it's own app ecosystem instead of allowing third parties to milk Shopify Pro customers like us for every dollar just to implement a reasonable Wine Club (our store's use case).
