New

  
Selling plans are a core part of how subscriptions are run on Loop. And with this release, we are making them even more powerful. With selling plan availability you have full control and flexibility over which selling plans are presented to customers at different touchpoints in their subscription journey.

While creating/editing a selling plan, you will be able to control the availability on:

• Storefront product pages
• Customer portal
• Admin portal

You can leverage this to create targeted strategies. For example, you can create acquisition specific selling plans (with higher discounts) which are only available on storefront product pages or selling plans for running promotional campaigns via checkout links (keeping them unavailable on rest of the touchpoints).

• Customers enjoy full flexibility to control the order schedule where they can pause, resume, and skip orders in their subscriptions.

Enabling prepaid subscriptions

• Easily enable prepaid subscriptions for your stores by creating prepaid selling plans and adding products. Read our detailed article here.

Welcome to the turbocharged prepaid experience designed to give increased convenience to your customers and easy manageability for you!
