How it sells itself

Subflow adds subscribe and save to any product, at a discount you set. Customers skip, reschedule, pause, change frequency and request a card update from your storefront. Switching apps? Upload your export from Recharge, Appstle, Seal, Bold or Shopify Subscriptions. Subflow matches subscribers to compatible payment methods already saved in Shopify, and you preview every row first.

SubFlow covers the full subscription workflow so merchants do not need to manage it manually. Selling plans are created from the Shopify admin and displayed on product pages through a native theme block, giving customers the option to subscribe at checkout. Once active, subscriptions are billed automatically on a daily schedule.

Key points
  • Customer portal: skip, pause, reschedule, change frequency, update card
  • Automatic retries after 2, 4 and 7 days, with customer and merchant emails
  • Import subscribers from another app onto cards they already have saved
  • Theme app extension widget for subscriptions on product pages
  • Selling Plan Management: Create subscription with custom billing intervals
  • Automated Billing with Dunning: Subscription charges run automatically
  • Customer Self-Service Portal: Subscribers can pause, resume, skip a delivery
  • Cancellation Retention Flow:customers are shown a reason selection
