1. BOX containing the parent product
The parent product is the flagship product of the box.
Each box can have a parent product that represents the box.In the store, when a customer clicks on a selected product, they are automatically redirected to the BOX page.
When selecting a box containing a parent product, you can also specify the price structure of the box.
The price of a box is the sum of the contents of the box or the price of the parent product.You can set it to that.If you want to set the price based on the total price of the boxed items, please set the price of the parent item to 0.
2. BOX for BOX products only
For boxes containing only boxed products, there is no representative parent product; the price is calculated solely based on the sum of the prices of the boxed products.
Customers can access it via the link on the BOX page.You will need to either directly embed links and buttons into your theme, or directly share links with your customers.
About BOX Subscription Groups
Only one BOX can be assigned to each subscription group. Multiple BOXes cannot be used in the same group.
Subscription groups linked to a BOX will not be displayed on the product page, but only on the BOX page.Before setting up BOX, you need to create a subscription group specifically for BOX.
*When creating a subscription group, please select all box products (both parent products and box products) as target products.

Example 1. When consisting only of sub-products: Minimum quantity 4, Maximum quantity 10

Example 2. Setting with a parent product and variations of the parent product.
If a parent product has variations with different quantities, you can limit the purchase quantity for each variation using the following settings:
4. BOX products
You can configure sub-product settings. This allows you to change the display order and set minimum and maximum quantities for each product.
Displaying as a product variant list is effective.
If product A has variations 1, 2, and 3, then product A - 1.Product A-2・This item will be displayed as a separate product from item A-3.
Display as a product variant list, but it is invalid.
If product A has variations 1, 2, and 3, product A will be displayed together, and you can select a variation from within that group.
To ensure a smooth implementation of Subscription BOX, please be sure to read the instructions on the BOX creation page before setting up your BOX.
About the app block added to the cart screen
When a subscription box product is in the cart, to prevent unintended changes (such as specifying a quantity other than the minimum or maximum or deleting the parent product), you can add an app block to the cart and the app will delete the box product from the cart.
Adding an app block is optional, but if you do not add an app block to your cart, you will be able to delete boxed items and change the quantity on the cart screen.
How to add an app block
Edit the text to display as needed.
You can change this from Settings > Translation, Text Editing.
About your account page
If you have enabled product changes, additions, and deletions on the settings page of the customer account page in the app administration screen, customers can change, add, or delete boxed products themselves from their customer account page.
