Recurring shipping options


Choose the default shipping method for renewal orders.


By default, Shopify sets the shipping option for recurring orders to the lowest-cost option available based on the product’s shipping profile. However, this behavior may not be suitable if you rely on third-party apps to manage shipping or have custom shipping rules in place.


  • Automatically select the cheapest shipping option — Recommended for cost efficiency.
  • Keep the initial shipping option — Use the same method chosen at checkout if other apps rely on it.


Automatic price updates


Decide when to update shipping rates on existing subscriptions.


  • After a subscription renewal — Update shipping prices each time an order renews.
  • When a customer updates their subscription through the customer portal — Update rates after product or plan changes.


Shipping profiles


Manage shipping zones and rates for subscription plans.


Use New profile to create shipping profiles with custom zones or free shipping. Products without a subscription shipping profile will use the default shipping profile as set in your Shopify shipping settings.
