How to set up a product subscription and return system?

Topic summary

Seeking a way to offer a product as a time-bound subscription with a chosen start date and duration (1, 3, or 6 months).

Flow: one shipment at the beginning, monthly pricing shown and charged during the term, and the product must be returned at the end.

Needs: integration for payments (tag suggests Shopify Payments), fulfillment, and a return process that aligns with the subscription timeline.

Ask: examples or solutions (apps/workflows) that support this rental-style subscription model. The thread is open with no resolution yet.

Hi all,

We are setting up a webshop where people can order a product as a subscription.

They would select the start-date of their subscription and the length (1,3 or 6 months). They would only receive the product at the beginning of the subscription and return it at the end.

Based on that, a monthly price will be shown, and after end of the subscription duration they would need to return the product.

Are you aware of any examples or solutions that offer such a setup?

Thanks in advance.
