Shopify is a great platform for ecommerce businesses of all sizes. One of the things that makes it so versatile is the ability to use it for subscription boxes. In this article, we’ll take a look at whether Shopify can be used for subscription boxes, and how to set it up if it can.

To start, you’ll need to have a Shopify account and be logged in. From there, you can go to Shopify’s App Store and search for “subscription”.

This should bring up a few different options for you to choose from. Once you’ve found an app that you like, you can install it and follow the instructions on how to set it up.

PRO TIP: Shopify does not currently offer subscription boxes, however there are a few workarounds that allow you to set up something similar. Before proceeding, please be aware that this is not an ideal solution and you may experience unexpected issues.

Now, let’s say you want to offer a monthly subscription box with different items each month. First, you’ll need to create a product in your Shopify store for the subscription box. This is where you’ll set things like the price, shipping information, and anything else that’s specific to this product. Next, you’ll need to create a recurring charge using the app that you installed earlier.

This will be set up so that customers are charged on a monthly basis. Finally, you’ll need to create a subscription product template in your Shopify store. This will be used to show customers what they’ll be getting in their box each month.

Once you have everything set up, it’s just a matter of promoting your new subscription service and getting customers signed up! Shopify makes it easy to start selling subscriptions, so if you’re thinking about offering this type of service, definitely give it a try.

Yes, Shopify does do subscription boxes! It’s easy to set up and use, and offers a great way to sell subscriptions for physical products.
