Regarding exclusion from automatic renewal of the specified number of-use discount

If your plan's discount setting is based on a number of purchases, the price will be updated to reflect the latest price for each subscription order.
If you want to change the product price but not the price for subscription contracts, save this setting as "Excluded." This will ensure that the price of the product currently displayed in your contract is set each time.

Regarding exclusion from automatic updates for order cycle product changes

If your plan settings are configured to change products based on the number of orders, the app will automatically change the products based on those settings.
If for any reason you want to ignore this setting and do not want to change the product, please save this setting as "Excluded".By doing so, the product will not change automatically, and the product currently displayed in your contract will be set each time.

Subscription product price changes 

In Go Sub subscription agreements, product prices are stored separately from the product information in Shopify.
Therefore, even if you change the product price in the Shopify product management screen, the subscription price will not change.
*If your plan's discount setting is "per-use discount" and you have set a separate billing cycle, the contract price will be calculated each time based on the product price set in Shopify.
DetailsHere

If you want to change the product price of your subscription, you will need to manually change the price in your Go Sub contract information.

Open the contract you want to change from "Subscription Contracts" on the app management screen and click "Change" in the subscription product section.

 

Select the product you want to change and click "Change"
The product that is already set for the subscription will be selected, so if you do not need to change the product, just click the "Change" button.

If you enter and change the product price here, your next order will be created with the changed price.

*If a discount is applied to your subscription, please enter the discounted price.

 

If the plan discount setting is "Number of times discount" or if a billing cycle is set

If the plan discount setting is "Number of times discount" or if the billing cycle is set separately, the contract price will be calculated each time based on the product price set in Shopify.

After completing the order process, GO SUB will recalculate the price of the next order based on the current product price and set it in the contract.
If you change the product price, the price set for your next order at that time will be the old price, and the new price will apply to the price of your next order set after the next order processing is completed.
