Creating offers

Creating a subscribe and save offer

An offer is a discount plus one or more delivery frequencies, attached to whole products or to specific variants.

An offer is the deal you put in front of a shopper: a discount, one or more delivery frequencies, and the products it applies to. Create one under Offers.

The fields

FieldWhat it does
Offer nameInternal label, and the selling plan name a shopper sees at checkout. "Subscribe & Save" is the default.
DiscountA percentage off or a fixed amount off, applied to every delivery.
ValueThe discount amount. A percentage is capped at 90 so an offer can never price a product at or below zero by accident.
Delivery frequenciesOne or more of the seven presets. See Choosing delivery frequencies.
Bigger discount on the first deliveryAn optional larger intro discount on delivery one. See A bigger discount on the first delivery.
PrepaidBill for several deliveries at once. See Prepaid subscriptions.
Choose products or variantsOpens Shopify's own product picker. Required: an offer with no products attached cannot be created.

Whole products or specific variants

The product picker lets you expand a product and tick individual variants. What you tick decides how the offer attaches:

  • Tick the product, or every variant. The offer attaches to the whole product, so variants you add later are included automatically.
  • Tick some variants. The offer attaches to those variants only, and a new variant added later is not subscribable until you edit the offer.

Pick whole-product attachment unless you have a specific reason to exclude a variant. It is the option that does not need maintenance.

Offers created from the product page

You can also switch subscribe and save on from the Miko block on a product's own page in the Shopify admin. Offers created that way are pulled into the Offers list every time it loads, so both surfaces show the same set and neither can quietly fall behind.

Removing an offer

Removing an offer deletes the selling plan group from your products so nobody can subscribe to it again. Existing subscriptions are not affected. Subscribers on that offer keep their contract, their price and their schedule, and continue to be billed normally.

Start with one best-seller. A single offer on a product people already reorder tells you more in two weeks than a catalogue-wide rollout tells you in two months, and it is far easier to unwind.
