Setup
Install the new Subscriptions app in your ShopWired account to prepare subscription plans and configure renewals. Installing the app does not activate the new subscription system or change how new subscriptions are created on your website.
Install and connect the app
- Navigate to Apps > Available apps in your ShopWired account and locate the new Subscriptions app
- Install the app
- Authorise the connection to your ShopWired account
- Open the app from Apps > Subscriptions
Check the connection
Check the connection
- Open Connection in the Subscriptions app
- Check that Connection health shows the app is connected to the correct ShopWired business
- Check App permissions for any permissions that need attention
- Check Last complete update to confirm that the app has finished updating its data
The app needs a working connection and a complete data update before you can make changes. If the Connection page asks you to reconnect, open Subscriptions again from Apps and authorise the requested permissions. Select refresh connection details to check the latest connection status. Select view data updates to inspect the update status.

Prepare plans and your theme
Prepare plans and your theme
Create every subscription plan you intend to offer and assign the relevant products or product variations. Make the theme changes needed to display subscription options on your website and give customers access to their subscriptions. Contact theme support if you need help with the theme changes.
Check the plans, product assignments and theme before opening Activation to switch new subscription purchases to the new app. Follow the separate migration guide (if you're currently using ShopWired's existing subscriptions app) for the activation steps and the effect on existing subscriptions.
