Can Bundles Work with Subscriptions?

A common question about using MOD Bundles with subscription apps.

Updated yesterday

Short Answer

Currently, MOD Bundles does not have native subscription integration. Bundles are designed for one-time purchases.


What This Means

You Can't Currently

  • Create a bundle that auto-renews monthly

  • Integrate directly with subscription apps like Recharge, Bold, or Loop

  • Offer "subscribe and save" on bundles

You Can

  • Use bundles as a one-time purchase alongside subscriptions

  • Manually set up subscription-style offerings (workarounds below)

  • Create bundles that customers reorder manually


Workarounds

Option 1: Manual Reorders

Encourage customers to:

  1. Purchase bundle once

  2. Reorder when needed

  3. Use Shopify's "buy again" feature

Not automatic, but works.

Option 2: Subscription Product + Bundle

Separate subscription from bundle:

  • Subscription app handles recurring billing

  • Bundle is a one-time add-on or separate offering

  • Different products for different purposes

Option 3: Customer Accounts

Use customer accounts to:

  • Track purchase history

  • Show previous bundles

  • Enable easy reordering


Future Plans

We're aware subscription integration is a popular request. It may be added in future updates. Keep an eye on our changelog for announcements.


Alternative: Pack Builder for Subscription Boxes

If you're creating a subscription box where customers customize contents:

  1. Use Pack Builder for the customization experience

  2. Handle billing through your subscription app

  3. Link the customization to the subscription order

This requires some manual setup but achieves a similar result.


Questions to Ask Yourself

Do I need true subscriptions?

If customers need:

  • Automatic recurring billing β†’ Need subscription app

  • Same bundle delivered monthly β†’ Need subscription app

  • Just occasional reorders β†’ Bundles alone work fine

Can I use both separately?

Many stores successfully offer:

  • Subscription products (via subscription app)

  • Bundles (via MOD Bundles)

  • As separate purchase options
