Subscription model for bundling products

Subscription model for bundling products

Hello, I've been looking for an App that can help me achieve what I'm trying to do but so far no success. I want to create a subscription model where any user can come to my website, go to a specific product page (it'll be named like 'subscription box') and when they checkout, they will be billed for that month and starting on that month they'll receive product #1 and each month they'll get billed before receiving product #2 and so on until the user has received each product from that bundle or until they cancel. I've look at some apps but I'm not having much luck finding one that fits my needs. Does anyone know of any subscription apps that can do this? I think I need something that will allow me to bundle products together but then I need that bundle to bill the user each month automatically and then ship out their product corresponding to that month. Any help or guidance towards this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @jperez,

I understand your requirements. This should be possible with our app, Profit Bundles. Here's how you can set it up:

  1. Create a parent bundle product in your Shopify product admin, which will be the actual product that the customer can purchase.

  2. Next, use any of the subscription apps available on the Shopify App Store and create different subscription plans, like a 3-month plan or a 2-month plan, for this product.

  3. Open our app, and you will need to create a mystery box. This box will have a product pool containing all the products that can be sent as part of the subscription bundle. Tell the app to send one product per delivery. You can also instruct the app to send unique products per delivery, in which case the app will check what was sent to the customer in the last order and will send something different from the previous products for the new delivery.

I am also sharing a 2-minute tutorial for your reference.

Hi @jperez 

I understand exactly what you’re trying to achieve—it sounds like you need a subscription app that can manage sequential product shipping within a bundle while billing customers monthly. I’ve come across a few apps that can handle this type of subscription model. Let me break it down for you:

1. Recharge Subscriptions

Recharge is one of the most popular subscription apps on Shopify, and it offers a lot of flexibility for different subscription models. You can set up a "subscription box" where customers are billed monthly, and each month you can send out a specific product from the bundle. You’ll need to use their "Auto-ship" functionality combined with a sequential delivery flow.

2. Bold Subscriptions

Bold Subscriptions is another excellent app that supports advanced subscription flows, including product swapping and bundling. With this app, you can set up recurring payments for a subscription box and ensure customers receive a new product each month from the bundle until all products are sent or the subscription is canceled.

3. Seal Subscriptions

Seal Subscriptions offers a user-friendly setup for subscription billing. It supports multiple payment intervals (e.g., monthly), and you can create custom subscription rules. While it doesn’t have advanced bundling features out of the box, you can work around this using Shopify's native bundling apps alongside Seal for subscription management.

4. Skio

Skio specializes in subscription-based businesses and can help you manage seamless recurring payments while automating product shipments. They also integrate well with Shopify and offer great customer retention features, like one-click cancellation and customer account management.

How to Set It Up

Once you choose the app that works for you, here’s a general outline of how to configure it:

  • Create a subscription plan: In your chosen app, set up a plan where customers are billed monthly.
  • Add products to the subscription: Define which products belong to the bundle (product #1 for month one, product #2 for month two, etc.).
  • Set shipping logic: Ensure each product is shipped out sequentially for the billing cycle.
  • Customize the checkout page: Make sure the subscription box page clearly explains how the subscription works, including billing and shipping schedules.

Personal Take

From what I’ve seen, Recharge and Bold Subscriptions are the most robust for your specific need, especially since they allow sequential delivery setups with automatic billing. Seal and Skio are more lightweight options but still worth exploring if you want something simpler. It’s also a good idea to reach out to the support teams of these apps—they're usually very responsive and can help you configure everything just right.

If you'd like to explore more or need help setting things up, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Daisy

Hey! What you’re describing sounds like a subscription model with a specific product sequence, and I totally get how tricky it can be to find the right app for that. A lot of subscription apps are great for recurring orders but don’t handle the kind of progression you’re looking for, where a new product gets sent out each month.

You might want to check out Loopwork.co. We’re built for subscription setups like this and can handle bundling products, billing customers monthly, and shipping the right product in the sequence. We also make it easy for customers to manage their subscriptions, like pausing or canceling if they need to.

I think we could be a solid solution for what you’re trying to do. Let me know if you want me to connect you with someone on our team who can help you get started!

The app Seal Subscriptions has a "Product swap" feature, which allows you to swap the products within subscriptions based on specific subscription renewals. With that feature, you could ensure, that customers receive a different bundle product each month of the subscription 🙂
