Subscriptions & bundles
If your Shopify store uses selling plans or bundle products, the Appolar app renders them natively in the product detail screen. No extra configuration in Appolar is needed.
Overview
Appolar reads selling plan and bundle data directly from the Shopify Storefront API. Anything you configure in Shopify (recurring schedules, subscribe & save discounts, bundled components) shows up in the app automatically. You do not need to duplicate that configuration in the Appolar admin.
This means subscription and bundle support follows your Shopify setup: add a selling plan group to a product in Shopify, and the app reflects it at the next screen load. Remove it from Shopify, and it disappears from the app the same way.
Selling plans (subscribe & save)
Selling plans (also referred to as Shopify Subscriptions) let customers purchase products on a recurring schedule, typically with a discount for committing to a frequency.
When a product has selling plans attached, the product detail screen in your app shows a purchase mode selector. Customers choose between a one-time purchase or a subscription, then pick their preferred delivery frequency. The price updates to reflect the subscribe & save discount for the selected frequency.
The "subscribe & save" label and the frequency options are pulled directly from your selling plan group configuration in Shopify. To change the label, frequency options, or discount amounts, edit the selling plan group in Shopify, not in Appolar.
When the customer taps Add to Cart with a subscription option selected, the selling plan is included in the cart line item and carries through to checkout. The subscription is fulfilled by whichever subscription app or Shopify Subscriptions handles your recurring billing.
Bundle products
Bundle products group multiple items for sale as a single unit. If you use Shopify's native bundles (or a bundle app that implements the bundled cart API), the product detail screen in your app shows the bundle's component products.
Customers add the full bundle to cart as a unit. The individual components are added to the cart line items automatically, consistent with how Shopify bundles work in any channel.
Setting up in Shopify
Selling plans and bundles are configured entirely in Shopify. The Appolar app picks them up automatically once they are live.
Selling plans
Go to Shopify Admin, then Products, select a product, and scroll to the Subscriptions section. You can also set up selling plan groups via a Shopify subscription app (for example, Recharge, Bold Subscriptions, or Shopify's own Subscriptions app).
Bundles
Use Shopify's native Bundles app or a third-party bundle app that supports the Shopify bundled cart API. Once configured, the bundle product appears in your app like any other product, with components displayed in the detail screen.
Limitations
Appolar uses the Shopify Storefront API's sellingPlanGroups field to read subscription data. Custom subscription apps that do not integrate with Shopify's native Selling Plans API may not render their options in the app.
If you are unsure whether your subscription app is compatible, check the app's documentation for mention of "Shopify Selling Plans API" or "Storefront API sellingPlanGroups" support. If neither is mentioned, contact the app developer before expecting it to work in Appolar.
Custom bundle apps that do not use the Shopify bundled cart API (for example, apps that bundle via draft orders or custom cart attributes) will not render as native bundles in the product detail screen. They may still add correctly to cart if they use standard cart line items, but the component display in product detail will not appear.
