Shopify Subscription Setup
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
1. If they buy a subscription to get the low subscription cost, if they cancel the subscription after they get the product, I want it to automatically charge the one time purchase rate. Otherwise they can game the system.
- Detailed explanation
So right now if you get on the website and buy a product you can purchase it with a monthly subscription where every month you get 31 pairs of socks. You wear them everyday and then dispose of them or donate them.
To encourage this, we give a subscription price that is lower than a one time purchase price.
For example: Subscription price for my custom antifungal powder no show socks will be $14.99/month for 31 socks/month.
However, if they purchase a one time purchase of the same 31 socks, then the same socks are $19.99.
The reason we can sell at a lower price for subscription is because most of the cost of socks, about 95% of the costs, are in shipping the socks, not in purchasing the socks themselves.
This will work, except what happens if a person purchases a monthly subscription to get the $15.99/price and then cancels it after they receive the socks? They would do this to get the lower price even though they were never really interested in a yearly subscription. Thus, they could game the system. If they cancel before 1 year, they would be charged the ONE TIME PRICE for the last order. Otherwise, we would actually lose money on the socks.
2. Have a checkbox option on all socks to have anti-fungal powder in them. Something like:
Number 2 is simply that we provide the option of having antifungal powder in all of our socks. You can buy them with, or without, antifungal powder. As such, I want all options to have a check box where they can order [ ] WITH ANTIFUNGAL POWDER
If they click on it, we will order the socks with antifungal powder automatically from the manufacturer. Is this doable?
