Hi, I am selling a digital quarterly magazine. I just built the site and I’m using Big Digital Downloads for that because I need to give the option to download a pdf or direct them to a page with the flip book embedded. Is there any subscription app that can handle a prepaid one year subscription to a magazine? All of the subscription apps I tried are really for recurring purchases of products, like coffee or skin care products.
Topic summary
A user is seeking a Shopify subscription app to handle prepaid one-year subscriptions for a digital quarterly magazine. They currently use Big Digital Downloads to offer both PDF downloads and embedded flipbook access, but existing subscription apps seem designed for recurring physical product deliveries rather than digital content.
Recommended solutions include:
- Bold Subscriptions and Recharge: Offer flexibility and customization for digital products, though may require setup effort
- Trust Subscription (multiple recommendations): Highlighted for supporting prepaid plans, easy setup, free trial options, and strong customer support
Key features mentioned for Trust Subscription:
- Flexible subscription types including prepaid annual plans
- User-friendly configuration
- Customizable digital content delivery
- Free to install with technical support
The discussion remains open, with another user seeking similar functionality for a print/digital quarterly magazine hybrid.
@carolhutchphoto Hi! For a prepaid one-year subscription to a digital magazine, I’d recommend trying Bold Subscriptions or Recharge. Both offer flexibility and can be customized for digital products, including one-time prepaid subscriptions. They might require some setup, but they can handle non-recurring digital content subscriptions like yours. Hope this helps!
For prepaid one year subscription, I would recommend you to try Trust Subscription.
They also offer free trial options with amazing customer support to help merchants!! I’m also using the same and it is working perfect for me. Easy to setup and use !!
Must try !

Hi There - I’m looking for the same solution. I have quarterly magazine in print and would like to offer online paid access as well. Have you found a good solution for your magazine?
