Selling plans

• Selling plans

  A selling plan allows brands to offer products on a subscription basis by defining billing and delivery frequencies, such as weekly, monthly, or yearly. These plans help structure how and when customers are charged and how often they receive the product. In Loop, selling plans are created and managed through the selling plans section of the app. Each plan can be configured with various settings like frequency, discounts, anchor days, and more, giving merchants flexibility to tailor subscriptionPopular

• Mapping products to a selling plan

  After creating your selling plans, the next important step is mapping products to them. This ensures that the subscription logic, including delivery frequency, billing cycles, and discounts - is applied to the correct products. For instance, if a selling plan includes four delivery frequency options, all mapped products will display those options to customers during checkout. This mapping is crucial for enabling subscription functionality on your storefront. (https://storage.crisp.chat/userFew readers
