A Beginner's Guide to Subscription Bars

This guide has moved. Subscription bars are now documented alongside the offers that contain them, in one place: A Beginner's Guide to Subscription Offers.

A subscription bar is one recurring purchase choice a customer can pick on your product page: a delivery frequency, a discount, and the terms that come with it. Bars live inside an offer, so the two are easier to follow together.

Jump straight to the section you need:

• What is a subscription bar?
• Creating a subscription bar
• Billing Mode: Pay Per Order vs Prepaid
• Discounts
• Contract Duration
• Subscription Renewal Dates
• Fixed quantity bundle
• Starter product, then refills
• Eligible Customers
• Advanced bar settings
• The one-time purchase row

For bundle bars, see Bundle types: quantity breaks, Buy X Get Y, fixed bundles, and build-a-box.
