Subscriptions for Shopify

Keep your subscribers longer.

Customers can change what they get and when it arrives, so they don't cancel just to make a change. If they do go to cancel, you get one more chance to keep them. And when a card is declined, we try again so the order isn't lost.

Customer portal

Let customers make changes without emailing you.

Most people who cancel don't dislike the product. They have too much of it, want a different flavor, or are going away for a month. Let them sort that out themselves in their account on your store. You decide what they're allowed to change.

Swap flavors, sizes or products

Customers can switch to a different size, flavor or color of what they already get. You can also let them swap to a different product from a list you choose, with price limits so nobody trades a $20 bag for a $60 one.

Cancellations

Get a chance to save every cancellation.

When someone clicks cancel, we ask them why first. Then we show an offer that fits their reason. You choose what to offer.

  • Too much product? Offer a pause instead.
  • Bored of it? Suggest something else to swap to.
  • Too expensive? Offer a discount on their next few orders.
  • Not ready for the next box? Move their next order back a few weeks.
  • Still want to go? They can cancel in a click, and you choose whether it ends now or at the end of the period they've paid for.

Billing

Renewals you don't have to think about.

Orders go out on schedule and each one is charged once. When a card is declined, we handle the follow-up.

Declined cards retried

Choose how many times to retry and how far apart. Customers can see when the next try will be.

Easy card updates

A customer with a declined card sees a notice in their account and a button to update it. Billing picks back up on its own.

No double charges

If a renewal is interrupted partway, we check what already happened before trying again. A customer is never charged twice for one order.

A full history

Every order, change, cancellation and save is logged on the customer's record, so support questions take seconds to answer.

For you and your team

Make any change for a customer.

Some customers would rather just email you. Add or remove products, change quantities, or set a custom price from your dashboard, and their own controls keep working afterwards.

Discount codes count on renewals as well as the first order, and switch off on their own once they're used up. Make a batch of unique codes for an influencer or an email campaign and export them in one go. The subscribe-and-save option goes on your product pages from the theme editor.

How Vanix stacks up.

Other apps either take a cut of every renewal, or put retention tools on their higher plans. Here's how it looks side by side.

Prices are from each app's pricing page or Shopify App Store listing on October 1, 2026, and may have changed since. The cost at 1,000 subscribers is each app's cheapest plan that covers that volume, plus its fee on $40,000 of monthly orders. Shopify's own payment processing fees apply with every app and aren't included. Recharge, Appstle and Loop are trademarks of their owners.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it work with my Shopify checkout?

Yes. Customers subscribe through your normal Shopify checkout and manage their subscription in their customer account on your store. There's no separate site or login.

Do I need to edit my theme?

No. You add the subscribe-and-save option to your product page in the theme editor, like any other app block.

What can customers change on their own?

Customers can always change item quantities and move their next order date. Everything else is up to you: swapping, adding products, pausing, changing how often orders come, applying discount codes and updating the address are each switched on separately, with limits you set. Cancelling from their account is on from the start, and you choose what happens when they do.

What happens when a card is declined?

We retry on the schedule you choose, and the customer sees a notice in their account with a button to update their card. If every retry fails, billing stops and nothing more is charged until they update it.

Can I make changes for a customer?

Yes. You can add, replace and remove products and set the price of each, and every change is logged on the customer's record.

Can I move my subscribers over from another app?

Get in touch and tell us which app you're using. We'll work out the move with you.
