How subscription works in Simple Bundles 2.0
While native subscription functionality isn’t available in Simple Bundles 2.0 due to limitations in Shopify’s API, many merchants have successfully integrated subscriptions through popular third‑party apps.
Important Note: For merchants who rely heavily on subscriptions, our general recommendation is to use Simple Bundles 1.0 until native support becomes available in 2.0. This version is compatible with subscription integrations and offers a more seamless experience for recurring orders.
Popular subscription apps recommended for merchants
Many merchants have integrated their bundles with leading subscription platforms. Some of the popular options include:
- ReCharge Subscriptions
- Seal Subscriptions
- Appstle
- Bold Subscriptions
- Loop Subscriptions
- Skio
Key considerations for subscription orders in Simple Bundles 2.0
- Compatibility with Subscription apps
Subscription orders processed through third‑party apps are treated as originating outside Shopify’s native sales channel. As a result, they are managed using the same order editing process we follow in Simple Bundles 1.0.
- Understanding Selling Plan Limitations
Subscription orders typically use selling plans—which many merchants use for recurring orders—but are not currently supported in Simple Bundles 2.0. Shopify’s API does not yet provide native support for selling plans, so if these are critical for your business, you may want to continue using Simple Bundles 1.0 and explore third‑party subscription solutions.
