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

In case anyone else comes across this I found the solution here in the Recharge support docs:

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?

3. 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.

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:
