Looking for variety/mystery box app that chooses from my stock

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

  • Goal: A Shopify merchant selling subscription protein powders using Paywhirl (a subscription app) wants a “flavor of the month” product that auto-selects a variant based on stock. Customers should not choose a flavor and the selection should remain a mystery until delivery.

  • Clarification: The reveal should not occur at add-to-cart or post-checkout. Customers learn the flavor only upon unboxing. The merchant wants to assign/rotate the monthly flavor on the backend from available inventory.

  • Proposed solution: An app vendor recommends their “Profit Bundles and Mystery Boxes” app, stating it works with subscription apps including Paywhirl. Features claimed: create mystery boxes, pick unique items per delivery per customer, and keep contents hidden until receipt. A setup tutorial video link is provided.

  • Status: No confirmation yet that this app fulfills the exact stock-driven assignment workflow or the merchant’s backend control needs. Discussion remains open for validation or further app suggestions.

Hi,

I am selling subscription protein powders of different flavours. I used paywhirl for the subscriptions. I want to just create a product where the customer will get a “flavour of the month”, based on my stock levels. so they don’t need to specifically choose a flavour/variant in their subscription which is either the same flavour or they keep needing to login and change it.

Is there an app like that that will be able to keep assigning a random flavour of the month on a subscription?

Hi Aaron,

I would like to understand the use case a little bit more. When would the customer be able to know what the flavor of the month is?

  1. Before the flavor of the month is delivered (e.g. the customer knows about the next month’s flavor before it is delivered)

  2. When the customer opens the package (at delivery)

I would like to understand the use case a little bit more. When would the
customer be able to know what the flavor of the month is?

  1. When the customer add the product to the cart, before checkout. No it
    would ideally be a mystery and changes each month

  2. Once the customer places the order, not till it arrives

  3. Once the mystery box has been delivered Yes, they would know then

Ideally they would sign up for the flavour of the month, I would be able to
choose one assigned on the back end from my stock, but they wouldn’t do
this.
