Topic summary

A small Shopify business needs to implement recurring monthly payments for a single product page offering youth sports classes. The product has three class time variations (all $60/month) plus optional one-time add-ons (jersey for $25, soccer ball for $15).

Key Requirements:

  • Recurring billing for only 3 specific product variants
  • Pre-selected, unchangeable “recurring monthly charge” indicator at checkout or near “Add to Cart”
  • Must work with existing custom code that collects children’s information
  • Simple implementation preferred due to heavy site customization

Current Challenge:
Uncertain whether a subscription app can integrate smoothly with the existing customized product page without extensive coding modifications. The business rarely handles subscriptions, making this a unique use case requiring a straightforward solution that clearly communicates the recurring nature of the charge to customers during purchase.

My Shopify is a small business and we don’t collect subscriptions or recurring payments regularly. I need to collect recurring payments for only 1 product page with 3 different variations that are eligible for “subscription” recurring charges. There are two options that are non-recurring charges, but I can remove those if necessary to get the job done.

Recurring Charges

Mondays | 9:00 - 9:40 | Ages 2-3 | $60

Mondays | 9:50 - 10:30 | Ages 3-4 | $60

Mondays | 10:40 - 11:20 | Ages 5-6 | $60

Non-Recurring Charges (One-time)

— Add Jersey (extra one-time cost) | $25

— Add a Soccer Ball (size 4) | $15

Here is the page: https://gophoenixsports.com/products/goddard-school-enrichment

Ideally, I would like the customer journey to look like this:

Visit page (see above)

Select class drop-down > Mondays | 9:00 - 9:40 | Ages 2-3 | $60

Select Camp Option > None apply

Select Add One-Child > input info

Add to Cart > Checkout

Clearly stated “recurring monthly charge” preselected can’t change

Or

Below “add to cart” >

Clearly stated “recurring monthly charge” preselected can’t change

I want a simple and easy way to do this. Our Shopify is heavily customized to add children info and I am not sure that can place this without much customized coding into the “product information” section on the product theme.

I can set up a notice at states this would be a recurring payment on the “product page” but I need a section at checkout or somewhere that would be a preselected checkbox (unchangeable) for “recurring monthly charge”.
