What’s in this guide


Configure your Subscriptions

To configure subscriptions inside FERMÀT and control how purchase options appear on your PDP:

  1. Select the Product
    Navigate to the product you want to configure from the Products section.

  2. Access Subscription Settings
    Open the Settings panel on the right.
    Select Purchase Options & Pricing to open the subscription configuration module.


Managing Selling Plans & Variants

1. Manage Selling Plans

Under the Purchase Options tab, you can enable or disable any subscription selling plans synced from Shopify.

This includes:

  • Delivery frequencies (e.g., every month, every 2 months)

  • Subscription discounts

  • One-time purchase availability

  • You can now toggle One-Time Purchase on/off to create subscription-only PDPs.

Only the selling plans you toggle on will appear to customers.

2. Manage Subscription Variants

In the Variants tab, you can control subscription visibility at the variant level.

This includes:

  • Enabling/disabling each selling plan per variant

  • Managing subscription prices per variant

  • Allowing certain flavors/scents/colors to be subscription-only

Variant-level control ensures subscription options appear correctly for each SKU.


Customizing Subscription Display

1. Customize Subscription Display (Styles)

In the Styles tab, you can fully control how subscription options look on the PDP.

You can configure:

  • Badge Text (e.g., “Best Value”, “Most Popular”)

  • Badge Color (choose any highlight color)

  • Active Selection Color (color shown when a plan is selected)

  • Show Delivery Schedule toggle

  • Subscription Option Style

    • Compact View

    • Expanded View

  • Expanded styling controls allow deeper customization over badge appearance, plan arrangement, and visual hierarchy.

2. Update Subscription Option Label

Use the Subscription Option Label field to rename how your subscription option appears.

Examples:

  • Auto-Ship

  • Subscribe & Save

  • Fast Delivery Refill

You can also enable Compare-at Price to highlight the savings between subscription and one-time purchase.

3. Add Value Propositions

Under Create a Selling Point, you can add benefit callouts to increase subscription appeal.

Examples:

  • Save 10% on every order

  • Free shipping on recurring purchases

  • Cancel anytime

  • Priority delivery every 30 days

These appear beneath subscription options on the PDP.


Finalizing and Previewing Changes

1. Save and Preview

Click Save Changes to apply updates.

Refresh your PDP preview to confirm:

  • Subscription label

  • Badge style

  • Delivery schedule

  • Discount visibility

  • Subscription-only mode (if enabled)

2. Front-End View (Optional)

Preview the storefront version to confirm:

  • Subscription callouts

  • Compare-at prices

  • Selling plan order

  • The correct option is shown first

  • One-time purchase is hidden (if subscription-only is enabled)

Everything should match your brand experience and the configuration in FERMÀT.
