[Delivery Date-Based Order Creation and Skip Restrictions] GO SUB | Subscription Update

Thank you for always using GO SUB.
We're pleased to announce the feature update for July 2026!

The update includes major improvements such as a feature that automatically calculates the order date based on the specified delivery date, and the ability to set a limit on the number of skips, as well as many other "nice-to-have" feature enhancements.

Please be sure to watch until the end!

Order cycle: Once a month
Lead time for store business days: 2 days
Closed on: Monday and Tuesday
Order creation date: March 14th (Saturday)
Delivery date for this order: Wednesday, March 18th
Next order creation date: April 16th (Thursday)
Next delivery date: Saturday, April 18th

=If you change your next delivery date to April 15th (Wednesday)=
Your next order will be recalculated and set for Monday, April 13th.

=If you skip your next delivery date, which is April 15th=
Your next delivery date will be May 15th (Friday), and the next order creation date will be recalculated to May 13th (Wednesday).

• Example 1: Monthly plan, fixed delivery date is the 15th. If the order date is January 1st:
  • The delivery date will be set to January 15th in the note attribute. For the second order, the delivery date will be set to February 1st, and the delivery date will be set to February 15th.
• Example 2: Monthly plan, fixed delivery date is the 15th. If the order date is January 16th:
  • The delivery date will be set to February 15th in the note attribute. For the second order, the delivery date will be set to March 15th, with the order placed on February 16th.

You can set a limit on the number of times you can skip at once.
If set to "2", customers can skip up to two consecutive orders. Once the limit is reached, the skip button will disappear until the next order is created.
(You can skip this step from the admin panel regardless of the number of times you are limited.)

Enabling this feature will allow you to change your next order date without changing it. I will create the order now.
If this feature is disabled, the cycle set in your plan will apply starting from the order date created with Buy Now.

example:
Plan cycle: every month
Previous order date: January 1st
Next order scheduled for: February 1st

=If the customer clicked "Buy Now" on January 15th=

• Function enabledNext order date in this case: February 1st
  • The date remains unchanged from the set date.
• Function disabledNext order scheduled date in this case: February 15th
  • The order date changes starting from the order date when the order was created using "Buy Now".

When this feature is enabled, if you change your plan, the next order creation date will be changed based on the date of your last (previous) order.

example:
Plan cycle: every month
Previous order date: January 1st
Next order scheduled for: February 1st

=If the customer changed their plan cycle to "every two months" on January 15th=

• Function enabledNext order scheduled date in this case: March 1st
  • Starting from the previous cycle on January 1st, a new cycle of "every two months" will be applied, and the scheduled order date will change. (The next cycle will be on May 1st.)
• Function disabledNext order date in this case: February 1st
  • The original order date will not be changed. The "every two months" rule will apply to orders placed after February 1st. (The next order after February 1st is April 1st.)

You can now add tags to orders and customers that include the delivery date and time.

For months where there is no fixed date for either the order date or the delivery date, the last day of that month will be designated.

Example: If the designated fixed date is the 31st: February is the 28th (29th in a leap year), April is the 30th, etc.
