We currently utilise Recharge for managing our subscription services. I need some help identifying the best method to differentiate subscription orders from one-time purchases. This distinction is particularly important for our warehouse staff, as it will enable them to efficiently process orders.
Could someone provide guidance or recommend a procedure that could help in easily recognizing the type of order?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hi,
I am not sure if you are looking for a way to distinguish these orders in Shopify API or in Shopify itself.
1.) In Shopify, each subscription item in the order has the selling plan name on it. This selling plan then leads to the subscription app where you can see the subscription.
Your warehouse staff could check if the selling plan name is on the items in the order and differentiate subscription orders like that.
2.) The API method: When a subscription order comes into Shopify, the line items will have the so called “selling plan” property on them. This selling plan property defines the price of the subscription product, interval, etc.
And you can basically use this to figure out if the order contains subscription items or not.
