What you get with Subflow
Built on Shopify’s native subscription APIs — contracts live in your admin, not locked in our database.
Customers manage themselves
A portal on your storefront: skip a delivery, move the date, change frequency, pause, cancel, update a failed card — no support ticket, no emailing you.
Failed payments recover on their own
Three retries over about two weeks with automatic customer emails, and one page that shows anything still unpaid.
Preview migration before importing
Preview every row and test in a development store first. Saved payment methods must be compatible with Shopify; some customers may need to provide payment details again. Pause old billing before activating migrated subscriptions.
Monthly plans, no revenue percentage
Free to 50 active subscriptions, then $19/mo to 500. Paid plans carry a 14-day trial and bill through Shopify.
See it against your own bill
Thirty seconds with the calculator answers it better than any comparison table.
