App with an initial fee and a reoccurring subscription

Shopify Apps
,

Topic summary

Primary need: implement a pricing model for a pet waste removal service on Shopify.

Details:

  • Weekly subscription billing for ongoing service.
  • One-time “first cleanup” fee that varies by yard saturation (Light/Medium/Heavy).
  • Additional charge based on number of dogs (1–2, 3–5, 6–8), calculated separately from yard saturation.

Constraint: combine a variable upfront fee with a recurring subscription.

Proposed approaches:

  • Clarify whether a third-party subscription solution is already in use.
  • Use a third-party app and extend its functionality to support the custom initial fee logic, or build a custom solution.

Current status: no specific app or method chosen. More details requested; assistance offered. The thread remains open pending clarification and selection of an implementation path.

Hello @garettprisock ,

Do you use any 3rd party solutions to manage subscriptions?
It would be great to hear more details. But in general, you can use a third-party app and extend its functionality or create a custom solution to meet your needs.

Please, let me know if you need any assistance.

Best regards,
Anastasia
