Subscription Apps for Deliveries Multiple Times a Week

Shopify subscription app

Hi all, I’m pretty desperate for help on this. My store provides daily deliveries of organic meals Mon-Fri.

We want to provide subscription options of:

Twice a week delivery
3 times a week delivery
4 times a week delivery
5 times a week delivery

With any of them to be billed once a week.

However, I’ve tried Seal, Appstle, and Native and they say they can’t set up the billing for each delivery interval to be every 7 days but instead I’d have to have billing per the following to work:

Twice a week delivery (billed every 6 days)
3 times a week delivery (billed every 6 days)
4 times a week delivery (billed every 8 days)
5 times a week delivery (billed every 5 days)

Which just doesn’t make sense/will not work given that we don’t deliver weekends.

Does anyone else have a setup for some of these delivery intervals without this complicated billing schedule (ideally once a week prepay billing)? It seems that most companies are just doing once a month and these apps are just not set up for multiple deliveries per week.

Also the setup is just complicated to even achieve multiple deliveries per week in these apps. It has to be set up as “days”.

So for example:

Twice a week delivery
Fulfillment settings: Every 3 days
Billed: Every 6 days

3 times a week delivery
Fulfillment settings: Every 2 days
Billed: Every 6 days

4 times a week delivery
Fulfillment settings: Every 1 day
Billed: Every 8 days

5 times a week delivery
Fulfillment settings: Every 1 day
Billed: Every 8 days

It doesn’t even make sense given that our delivery days are Monday-Friday so some of these scenarios we would be delivering product without being paid yet.

If you have followed this far, thank you. Any advice is appreciated. We also can’t afford super expensive apps that take too much per transaction so any advice is appreciated.

Hello @Chelsea16 : I suggest you create bundles of products or separate product for each delivery type with subscription cost of each defined.

So its like you have following products :

Twice a week Meal Bundle

Three times a week Meal bundle

I know this might not look very user friendly but you can think on this line

Hey @Chelsea16 , I know just the app for you. Check out the SAPP Subscriptions App, it offers flexible subscription options with custom intervals and discounts.

Hope this helps! :grinning_face:

Hi Chelsea,

I am not sure, if this is still relevant to you as it has been more than a year since you posted this. We are currently in the process of developing a shopify plugin for daily meals delivery. We also have our own ecommerce platform at apexcommerce.com. Please feel free to reach out to me at ravi@apexcommerce.com to discuss more or book a demo. You can also check out our website for more info at apexcommerce.com/meals

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi Chelsea,

For this use case, I’d recommend Easy Subscriptions App. You can create separate plans such as 2, 3, 4, or 5 deliveries per week while keeping customers on a fixed weekly billing cycle.

The app supports flexible subscription plans, customer self-service (pause, skip, cancel), and custom shipping configurations, making it a good fit for meal delivery businesses with recurring orders.

Hope this helps!

Hi, @Chelsea16
Hope you are doing great!
You might want to look at Recharge Subscriptions. It supports separate billing and delivery schedules more flexibly than many subscription apps. It may let you bill weekly while managing multiple deliveries within that billing cycle, although it’s worth confirming your exact workflow with their support team.
