Subscription products let you charge customers automatically on a regular schedule — monthly or yearly — instead of a single one-time payment. This is ideal for membership communities, ongoing access to content libraries, software tools, or any product where you deliver continuous value over time.
Subscriptions are powered by Stripe. You must connect a Stripe account under Payments before you can publish a subscription product or accept recurring payments.

​
Create a subscription product

1

Open the Products section

In your dashboard, click Products in the left sidebar, then click New Product.
2

Choose Subscription as the product type

Under Product Type, select Subscription. This tells Quickshops to set up recurring billing through Stripe rather than a one-time charge.
3

Fill in the basics

Enter a Name, optional Description, and any Details bullet points that describe what subscribers receive. Add a cover image to represent the product on your storefront.
4

Set the billing interval

Choose how often customers are billed — Monthly or Yearly. See the examples below to help you decide.
5

Set the price

Enter the recurring price in your store’s currency. This is the amount charged each billing cycle.
6

Publish your product

Toggle the product to Active and click Save. Your subscription is now live and customers can sign up directly from your storefront.

​
Monthly vs yearly billing

Customers are charged once per month on the same date they first subscribed.Best for:
  • Lower-commitment offers where customers want flexibility
  • Products with a steady monthly value delivery (newsletters, coaching, tools)
  • Audiences who prefer spreading out costs
Example pricing: $15/month for access to a private community and weekly resources.

​
The subscriber portal

Every subscriber gets access to a self-service portal where they can:
  • View their active subscriptions
  • Update their payment method
  • Cancel or pause a subscription
  • Download invoices and receipts
You do not need to handle cancellations or billing changes manually. Stripe manages the billing cycle and keeps your subscriber list in sync automatically.
Include a link to the subscriber portal in your post-purchase email or product delivery page so customers can easily manage their billing without contacting you.

​
Managing subscription products

From the Products list you can edit, deactivate, or duplicate a subscription product the same way you would a digital product. Deactivating a subscription product prevents new customers from signing up, but does not cancel existing active subscriptions.
Changes to pricing on a subscription product apply to new subscribers only. Existing subscribers continue to be billed at the price they originally signed up for unless you update their subscription manually in Stripe.
