The price of the BOX can be set to the total of the BOX products or the price of the parent product . If setting based on the total of the BOX products, please set the price of the parent product to 0.

2. BOX consisting only of BOX products
A BOX that contains only BOX products does not have a representative parent product, and the price is calculated solely based on the total of the BOX products.
Customers can access the BOX page via the link. It is necessary to either embed links or buttons directly into the theme or share the link directly with customers.

About the BOX subscription group.
Only one BOX can be assigned to each subscription group. Multiple BOXes cannot be used within the same group.
Subscription groups linked to BOXes will not be displayed on the product page, but only on the BOX page. You need to create a subscription group specifically for the BOX before setting up the BOX.
※When creating a subscription group, please select all BOX products (both parent products and BOX products) as target products.
Examples of subscription groups
About the customer account page
If you have set the ability to change, add, or delete products on the customer account page in the app management screen, customers can change, add, or delete BOX products themselves from their customer account page.
About the contract details page
You can change, add, or delete BOXes from the contract details page in the app management screen.
About the subscription BOX settings
Subscription BOXes can be set from the BOX page in the app management screen. Before setting up a BOX, please be sure to create a dedicated subscription group for the BOX.
The example BOX settings are as follows.
Additionally, it may be necessary to implement app blocks for the cart.
To smoothly introduce the subscription BOX, please be sure to read the instructions on the BOX creation page before setting up the BOX.
About the app blocks to be added to the cart screen
When a subscription BOX product is in the cart, adding an app block to the cart prevents unintended changes (such as specifying quantities outside the minimum and maximum or deleting parent products), which would otherwise allow the app to remove BOX products from the cart.
Adding app blocks is optional, but if you do not add app blocks to the cart, it will be possible to delete BOX products or change quantities on the cart screen.
How to add app blocks
Please edit the text to be displayed as needed. You can change it from
Settings > Translation, Text Editing.
