Notice the subs are immediately updated (the merged from subs are canceled, and the existing sub is updated with the migrated products and associated discounts as well as rules applied).

Merging subscriptions is available if:
- Currency for both subscriptions matches
- Status for both subscriptions is Active
- Max Cycles for both subscriptions match (or are not set)
- There is no free shipping discount present on lines to be merged

  • Any prepaid subscriptions
  • Containing a one time upsell
  • Surprise and delight products are added
  • Discounts are applied to the subscription

FAQs

What happens when subscriptions are merged with an out of stock product?

  • The merged subscription doesn’t check or behave differently with the OOS product during the merger.

What happens when subscriptions are merged with different intervals?

  • For example, we merge Subscription 1 (4 weeks) with Subscription 2 (6 weeks). The merged subscription will take on the interval of whatever Subscription 1 is  (The subscription where the "merge" button was pressed.) This gives you the ability to pick any interval between the subscriptions being merged.
