A recurring purchase that renews on a schedule until the customer cancels.

What is a subscription

In ecommerce, a subscription is a purchase that repeats automatically. The customer picks a delivery frequency, pays at checkout and then receives and pays for each renewal without ordering again. They manage it in a customer portal.

Main types of subscriptions

  • Replenishment: products customers run out of, such as coffee, supplements or pet food. Usually sold as subscribe and save.
  • Curation: a subscription box chosen by the merchant or built by the customer.
  • Access: a membership with perks instead of products.
Subscriptions can also be pay-as-you-go, billed per delivery, or prepaid, billed for several deliveries at once.

Why stores sell subscriptions

Subscriptions turn one-time buyers into recurring revenue, make demand easier to plan and raise customer lifetime value.
