We at HulkApps keep researching and developing new ideas and tooling continuously so that every merchant can leverage the bespoke advantages of the evolving Shopify ecosystem. Here, in this blog, we will discuss Shopify Subscription API and various techniques you can shore up to build your growing business.

What is Shopify Subscription API?

Subscription is no longer a new phenomenon in the realm of the eCommerce industry. As soon as the pandemic evolved, many businesses pivoted to eCommerce only to keep up with the challenges and serve their customers in an all-new way. Shopify has opened up ways with Subscription APIs for new merchants. If you had found it hard competing in the Amazon marketplace, you could now realize how easy it could be to grow your business with subscription flexibility.
Shopify Subscription APIs are a set of application programming interfaces you can use to build applications and manage a subscription business model. So, when you build an app, it helps you sell products in multiple ways 一

• Plan your recurring pricing at a predetermined interval
• Sell one-time products
• Sell standard products simultaneously

Simply put, Shopify Subscription gives you the ability to do more than just typical ‘buy now’ functionality. As a Shopify merchant, you can build an app to integrate that into Shopify Checkout and manipulate it.

Scopes you can unravel with Shopify Subscription API.

Selling plan APIs: Sell efficiently other than ‘Buy Now.’

Subscription contract APIs: Make a faster agreement with customers and you.

Customer payment method APIs: Store payment information to use in the future.

However, it does not mean your app is high performant to take care of every subscription activity. Shopify and app have different responsibilities for subscription management.

With a few bunches of features, you can still empower your subscription business; if not, analyze your subscription performance.

1. Build a customer-facing UX for subscription

Before you build a UX, follow a few simple things.

• Give your customers a clear view of how your terms and conditions work, varied options of selling plans, and opportunities to save.
• Communicate clearly about a subscription.
• Whatever is your existing inventory, the subscription UI must align with it.

The most efficient way to keep your customers hooked to the subscription interface is to display your product forms rightly.
