Overview
Installing SubZero Subscriptions App for Shopify requires just a few simple steps to get your store up and running with subscription functionality.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Create Your Subscription Plan Group
Before customers can purchase subscriptions, you'll need to set up at least one subscription plan group with one or more plan options.
What you'll do:
Configure your subscription options (frequency, discounts, billing cycles)
Create your first subscription plan
Associate the plan with your products

Step 2: Add a Subscription Widget to Your Storefront
The subscription widget is what allows customers to select a subscription plan for products and add them to their cart. SubZero Subscriptions App offers multiple widget options to fit different store requirements.
Widget Compatibility:
Online Store 2.0 themes: Compatible with all widget options (as long as the product page supports customization)
Custom legacy themes: Compatible with all widget options (may require additional setup steps)
Older free Shopify themes (like Debut): Works with standard widget for automated install, but can use other widget options with custom implementation

Your store's purchase options policy should clearly explain to customers how your subscription plans work, including:
How billing cycles function
Minimum purchase requirements (if any)
Cancellation procedures and policies
Subscription management instructions
