Open Plans and click Create plan.

1. Pick a plan type

  • Subscribe & Save — recurring delivery at a discount (most common).
  • Prepaid — buyer pays upfront for N deliveries (e.g. 3-month prepaid box).
  • Membership — recurring access fee, no shipped product (digital perk).

2. Configure billing

  • Name — visible at checkout. Keep it under 30 chars.
  • Interval — every 7/14/30/60/90 days (or custom).
  • Total cycles — leave blank for indefinite, or cap (e.g. 12 cycles).

3. Discount strategy

Set a percent off or fixed off vs. one-time price. Optionally add a first-cycle bonus ("First box 30% off, then 15%") which boosts conversion.

4. Attach products

Search and tick products to attach. The plan applies to ALL variants of attached products by default; use per-variant overrides for SKU-specific pricing.

5. Save

RecurX writes a Shopify selling plan group on save (look for it in Products → Selling plans). The widget picks it up immediately on the storefront.

Edit later

Plans are editable post-launch. Existing subscribers keep their original price unless you opt them in via Manage subscribers.
