Q: What subscription platforms use this integration?
A: Any subscription platforms using Shopify's Selling Plans will integrate with Rebuy in this way. Appstle, Bundles.app, Groovy, Inverterate, Loop, Ongoing, Prive, Purple Dot, Recharge, Seal, Skio, Smartrr, Stay Ai, Subify, Subscribify, Super Simple, Tryonify, Upscribe, Withfriends, Yotpo, etc.
Q: Does the selling plan data update real time?
A: Since Shopify does not currently have any webhooks for this information, Rebuy is regularly comparing the data that is stored with your store's data. So, this means that it may be possible that when you make changes to your selling plans via the subscriptions app that you are using, the data may be stale for a short while.
Q: Are B2B orders compatible with Subscriptions?
A: No, at this time B2B orders are not compatible with Subscriptions per Shopify's list of B2B limitations listed here.
Q: How can I adjust the "Delivery Frequency" text in the Subscription product variant dropdown in my Smart Cart and Widgets?
A: This text is pulled directly from your Selling Plan provider's product data in the Shopify Admin.
To adjust the wording you will need to rename the delivery frequency text within your Selling Plan app accordingly.
The styling of the "Delivery Frequency" dropdown menu text is currently limited to resizing of the variant dropdown menu button only, using Custom CSS or JS in your Smart Cart and/or Widget settings in Rebuy Admin. Please note that Developer support is recommended for this type of customization, and additional customization may warrant the usage of a Custom Smart Cart Template.
Q: Can I force an update of the data?
A: Yes! you can request a resync of the data on demand.
