Intermittent Error: Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan.

[Ubuoy]

Hi we are in the process of setting up a Shopify store for a subscription model using ReCharge.    

For our subscription, we have 2 options:

1. Delivery every week

2. Delivery every 2 weeks.  

When testing the site we get the error "Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan." But this is ONLY when you select Option 1; Delivery every week.  

If you select Option 2; Delivery every 2 weeks it works just fine.  What's strange is that if you select Delivery every 2 weeks first, and then go back to the option 1;Delivery every week, now it works.  

Hoping to get rid of this error message. We tried a lot of things already (Followed ReCharge Rules; Subscription Widget published, tried removing products and re-adding, etc).  Thank you 

The store is Ubuoy.com and password is Ubuoy

Hi,

it depends on where u received this error:

1. product page

2. add to cart button on a non-product page?

In the first case:

1. Is your product page built via JSON (2.0) or liquid (1.0)?

2. Did you add the Subscription widget and is it published?

4. Is the selling_plan id included?

In the second case:

1. Did you add the selling_plan id to the cart payload?

Try this solution to add a selling plan to the cart drawer by embedding a button anywhere:

I added this directly to the theme by using the custom liquid option.

<input type="button" id="add-to-cart-button" value="ADD TO CART" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; width: 100%; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px;" onClick="addItemToCart(VARIANT_ID, 1, SELLING_PLAN_ID)">

<script>
function addItemToCart(variant_id, qty, selling_plan) {

data = {
"id": variant_id,
"quantity": qty,
"selling_plan": selling_plan
}
jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/cart/add.js',
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
success: function(carthtml) {
$('cart-drawer').html($(carthtml).find('cart-drawer').html());
}
});
}
</script>

The first value is the variant ID
Second is Quantity
Third if the selling plan ID

To add a selling plan from any page/button directly to the cart:

<input type="button" id="add-to-cart-button" value="ADD TO CART" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; width: 100%; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px;" onClick="addItemToCart(VARIANT_ID, 1, SELLING_PLAN_ID)">

<script>
function addItemToCart(variant_id, qty, selling_plan) {

data = {
"id": variant_id,
"quantity": qty,
"selling_plan": selling_plan
}
jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/cart/add.js',
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
success: function() {
window.location.href = '/cart';
}
});
}
</script>
