Adding subscriptions to Shopify or Shopiy Plus stores helps create a seamless ecommerce experience for you and your customers. It establishes predictable and consistent recurring revenue to aid in future planning, management and business expansion, so that you can achieve your long-term strategic goals and brand strategy more effectively.

Shopping experiences become more fluent for the user when a subscription is invovled, promoting retention and lifetime value.
In basic terms, subscription ecommerce businesses give online customers an easy, tailored, and less expensive option to make repeated purchases of the things they want and need. When a merchant decides to add subscriptions to Shopify, they can be used as tools to support increased flexbility for customers looking to repeat purchase high frequency products such as food & drink or skincare / beauty subscription boxes for example, as and when they need them. This eliminates the need for the customer experience to be hindered by having to manually go through each page the checkout process with every purchase to get their shipping / delivery without all the unnecessary steps. Nowadays, the shopping experience is expected to be as quick and seamless as possible, the longer it takes for a user to get to the cart and checkout, the less likely shoppers will want to buy with frequency.
When a merchant chooses to add subscriptions to Shopify, it not only increases price affordability for the customer through subscription discounts, but it also helps convert one-time shoppers into recurring (and frequently lifelong) customers of your website. With consistent monthly recurring income flowing in, merchants can access data analytics and information to predict their future sale and growth figures with accuracy.
Build-a-box functionality is an increasingly popular feature that works great for subscription driven businesses. This feature allows customers to build a box of products of their taste. Usually, there is a minimum threshold for a box, an incentive on the cost to do so, and of course the option to subscribe.

We've integrated Build a box functionality for a number of amazing merchants. Get in touch today to learn more.

The cost of acquiring customers is on the rise, which is a major reason why startups and small businesses fail. With a subscription-based business model, customers pay you with structure on a monthly basis, which reduces the amount of money you need to spend on acquiring new customers.

This is the foundation of customer lifetime value (LTV), which is one of the key elements and feature in determining a company's success.
