Frequently Asked Questions About Shopify Subscriptions
Which subscription app should I use with Shopify?
Several solid options exist: Beez, ReCharge, Skio, Bold Subscriptions, and Loop. Beez stands out for its native Shopify integration, zero transaction fees, combined subscription + bundle functionality, and free plan with full feature access.
Does Beez charge transaction fees?
No. Beez charges zero transaction fees on all plans, including the free plan. Unlike Recharge (1% + 19¢ per transaction) or Bold (1% fee), Beez lets you keep 100% of your subscription revenue.
Can I offer subscribe and save discounts on Shopify?
Yes. With Beez, you can configure subscribe and save discounts (e.g., 10-20% off recurring orders) that apply automatically at checkout. Customers see the savings clearly on the product page and can choose their delivery frequency.
How does Beez compare to Recharge?
Beez offers the same core subscription features as Recharge (recurring billing, customer portal, dunning) but adds bundle building, free gift thresholds, and tiered discounts in one app — all with zero transaction fees and a free plan. Recharge charges $99/month plus 1% + 19¢ per transaction.
Can I sell bundles and subscriptions together on Shopify?
Yes. Beez is the only Shopify app that combines subscriptions and bundles in a single app. Create tiered bundle offers (1-pack, 2-pack, 3-pack) with increasing discounts and let customers subscribe to any tier.
Is Beez compatible with all Shopify themes?
Yes. Beez is Built for Shopify (BFS) certified and integrates via app blocks in the theme editor. It works with all Online Store 2.0 themes without code changes.
How do customers manage their subscription?
Through a self-serve customer portal accessible from their Shopify account. Subscribers can change delivery frequency, pause, skip a shipment, update shipping address, swap products, or cancel — without contacting support.
Can I migrate from Recharge, Bold, or Appstle to Beez?
Yes. Beez offers one-click migration from Recharge, Bold, Loop, Appstle, Skio, and other subscription apps. Your subscribers, plans, and billing dates are imported automatically.
What is the best free subscription app for Shopify?
Beez offers the most generous free plan among Shopify subscription apps. Unlike competitors that limit features on free tiers, Beez provides full access to subscriptions, bundles, free gifts, dunning, and analytics — with zero transaction fees.
How do tiered discounts work on Shopify?
With Beez, you can create tiered discount structures where customers save more as they buy more. For example: 10% off 2 items, 15% off 3 items, 20% off 4+ items. These stack with subscribe & save discounts for maximum conversion.
