How to create a subscription product

CartGenie allows you to set up subscription products in your store. This can be done at the parent product level or for specific variants.

Creating a Subscription Product

When creating or editing a product in CartGenie, navigate to the “Billing & Shipping” tab. Here you will find the “Billing Method” option.

Select “Subscription” from the dropdown options.

Then, select the desired frequency from the “Billing Interval” option.

The amount you set in the “Price” field will be charged each interval until canceled by you or the customer.

Note: Currently, recurring charges for subscriptions do not include taxes or shipping. This will be coming soon. We recommend building these costs into your subscription product prices for now.

Creating a Subscription Variant / “Subscribe & Save” Option

After entering your basic product info and your base price in the “Billing & Shipping” tab, save your product as a draft and then go to the “Variants” tab.

Here we’ll create a new Option Set and name it “Subscribe & Save” or you could call it something like “Billing Frequency” if you prefer and add values for your desired options such as:

• Single Purchase

• Monthly Subscription (Save $5)

• Weekly Subscription (Save $10)

Then click “Create”

This will generate those options as individual products using your base price and details.

You can then click into each variant and change the billing method to “Subscription”, edit the Billing Interval and edit the price to match your desired savings. You will see a subscription icon appear for each variant set to be a recurring charge.

Save your changes and your product!
