Introduction: In this guide, you'll learn how to create your first subscription with the Verified Subscriptions App, as well as how to create additional plans in the future.
Click "Create First Plan": For your first Subscription, navigate to the "Create First Plan" button located on the Dashboard page
Creating Future Plans: For future subscriptions, you can click on the "Subscription Plans" section to explore and manage your available subscription options.

Setting A Title: Begin by entering the title of your Subscription Plan. This will help identify your plan in the Verified Subscriptions App
Enabling The "Recurrent" Setting: If the Recurrent setting is enabled, this Subscription Plan will automatically renew each term based upon the term duration set. Subscribers will always be billed based upon their initial date of purchase.
Enabling The "Active" Setting: The Active setting determines if your Subscription Plan will be visible on your Store for purchase. By default, this setting is turned on, but can be disabled to discontinue a plan for new Subscribers without ending a Subscription for existing Subscribers. Please note that existing subscribers will continue to be rebilled if a disabled plan is set to Recurrent.
Set Your Billing Term: Choose the billing interval that fits your subscription cycle. If a plan is not Recurrent, the Subscription will end after the term duration specified.
Selecting Your Product: Select the appropriate product that this subscription will apply to. This product must be created via the native "Products" tab in the Shopify storefront. The pricing for your plan is also set via the "Products" tab in Shopify.
Select A Tag: Choose an existing tag to categorize your subscription. This tag will be assigned to the customer when they purchase this Subscription Plan
