Installing subscriptions on your Online Store

To sell subscriptions on your online store, your theme needs three things:

• The Subscription Widget app block on your product pages, so customers can choose a subscription and a delivery frequency.
• The subscription's frequency on cart items, so customers can see they're buying a subscription. Many themes already show it.
• A link to subscription management in the customer account, so customers can manage their own subscriptions.

The Launch page in Awtomic walks you through each of them.

Add the Subscription Widget to your product pages

In Awtomic, go to Launch and find Add the subscription widget to your theme. The step lists every product template on your live theme. Click Add next to a template to open the Shopify theme editor with the widget already added, then click Save. Full steps are in Add the subscription widget to your theme.

The Subscription Widget is a theme app block, so it needs an Online Store 2.0 theme. If the Launch page says your theme doesn't support app blocks, contact [email protected] and we'll help you add it.

Changing themes

App blocks belong to a theme. When you publish a different theme, add the Subscription Widget again from the Launch page, which always checks your live theme.

Show the subscription in the cart and on orders

If your cart doesn't show the subscription's frequency, add the snippet in Getting Started with Awtomic Setup to your cart and order templates.

Add the subscription management link

In Awtomic, go to Launch and open Customer accounts. With new customer accounts, click Open Editor to add Awtomic's Manage subscriptions embed to the Orders page. With legacy customer accounts, add the link from Getting Started with Awtomic Setup.

Stores on the old subscription widget

The old subscription widget, which Awtomic added to your store automatically or which was installed in your theme code, is being retired. If your store still uses it, follow Switch from the old subscription widget.
