Why You Need a Solid Subscription Plugin

Subscriptions can be your highest-LTV channel, but only if they’re done right.

The plugin you choose impacts:

• How smooth the signup flow is
• Whether customers can manage their subscription easily
• How flexible your plans and bundles can be
• How much churn do you experience over time

In short: your subscription plugin becomes a core part of your customer experience. That’s why picking the right one is critical.

What to Look for in a Shopify Subscription Plugin

Not all plugins are built with growth in mind. If you’re serious about scaling subscriptions, look for these key features:

1. Seamless Shopify Integration

Your plugin should work natively with Shopify’s checkout and product catalog. No clunky workarounds.

2. Customizable Subscription Widget

This is what customers see on your product page. It should match your brand, not look like a generic add-on. (Loop nails this with its custom widget builder.)

3. Flexible Plans

Let customers choose between delivery frequencies, pricing tiers, or prepaid options. You should be able to offer bundles, trials, or even one-time add-ons.

4. Self-Service Portal

Customers should be able to pause, skip, or swap items without emailing your support team. A good plugin reduces churn by giving customers control.

5. Built-in Retention Tools

Smart subscription plugins help you recover failed payments, offer incentives to stay, and win back cancelling subscribers.
