Subscriptions is in 'beta' mode, meaning it's a new feature that may still have some glitches. Please contact us with any feedback about what works, what needs improving or how it could be better explained.
What are subscriptions?
Subscriptions are recurring or standing orders that can be set up for the customers of any Enterprise with a shopfront. Once set up, these orders will be automatically processed at defined intervals (eg. weekly, fortnightly, monthly).
Subscriptions are convenient for customers, as they can know that their order will be processed without needing to remember to place their order.
Subscriptions are also a good way for an Enterprise to boost customer loyalty and make their order volumes more predictable.
Features of Subscriptions
