"Your first order will be a luxurious starter set, and subsequent orders will be refills."

This "step-based subscription" model maximizes LTV,Manually switching products for each customer is really a lot of work.That will cost money, won't it?

The tasks described below are outlined below! First, take a look at the general setup process, and we also recommend reading the detailed instructions in text.

STEP 0. Register your products on Shopify

We will register a set product for the first purchase and individual products for subsequent orders on Shopify.

This article will omit details on registering product information on Shopify.

STEP 1. GO SUB Plan Group Settings

We will now configure the plan group settings. The following three points require particular attention:

① Override customer account page settings

② Products included in the plan group

③ Products hidden from the group


Let's take a closer look at each one.

① Override customer account page settings

Here, you can override (overwrite) the settings for the entire GO SUB customer account.

In the plan we will be creating,Since we do not want customers to be able to change or delete products themselves, we will remove this setting.

Conversely, if you are okay with allowing quantity changes, you can leave the checkbox checked. If you do not want to allow quantity changes, please uncheck the box.

② Products included in the plan group

We will set up both products for first-time purchases and products for subsequent purchases.

③ Products hidden from the group

This is where you will set the items that will be delivered to you from the second delivery onwards.

By setting the product here, the plan group you are currently creating will no longer be displayed on that product page.

This setting prevents the "Shaker included with first purchase" plan from appearing on the individual product pages.

This section of the product settings is optional, so if you're okay with displaying plan groups for individual products, you don't need to configure it.

When all three of the above settings are configured, the display will look like this:

STEP 2. GO SUB Plan Settings

Now that we've completed the basic settings in the plan group, we'll proceed with the detailed settings, such as changing the product.

We won't go into detail about discounts and cycle settings here, but we recommend setting up first-time discounts!


The following points will be explained regarding the settings for changing products per order.

① Product change rules

② Imported Goods

③ Product settings for the order cycle

Product changes per order Product change rules

There are several types of rules for changing products.

  • Secure with the last item.
  • Repeat from the beginning (loop type)

This time, the only difference between the first purchase and subsequent purchases is the product, soSecure with the last itemSelect "".

Imported goods

An "entry-level product" is a product designed to be the first item a customer purchases.

Setting this option is optional, but by configuring this entry point product, even if product changes from the customer's account are enabled, changes to the product specified here will be impossible.

Order cycle product settings

You can set the items to be delivered from the second delivery onwards.


Once you've made these settings, the display will look like this.

Let's see how the app works and how the contract changes after a customer actually makes a purchase.

The following is a portion of the subscription contract details screen within GO SUB after the initial order has been completed.

You can confirm that your next order will be changed from a product with a shaker to a single item.
Additionally, you can check the change history to see if the app has modified the product.
