I am a restaurant and want to follow a model where we off a subscription service in exchange for a service.
Currently the subscription are very fragmented in the redemption capabilities and also in the purchase capabilities.
eg. We would like to offer for a flat fee cups of coffee on demand. The only way currently to offer this is in store signup with limited redemption capabilities.
is there any development or anything someone can suggest to make it more seamless experience and also more options for purchas eg online ect?
The title of this thread has been edited from the original to make it more accessible to other sellers with similar queries: A more Seamless and integrated square subscription serive.
Hi @SamHowarth, thanks for filing!
I understand how it would useful to have additional redemption and purchase features for Subscriptions.
I have seen similar requests to offer services as subscriptions, and I'll be sure to let you know once this feature is available.
Could you elaborate what you mean by "more options to purchase online"?
Hi lou,
I currently have legacy subscriptions that cannot be purchased on my online store.
they can only be purchased in store
I apologise for the delay @SamHowarth.
If you created a checkout link for your (legacy) subscription prior to the update, you could still sell your subscription online by sharing the link on your website.
Either copy the link or the embed code attached to the checkout link:
You can then create a Button or Embed Code section on a page of your website to feature the subscription link. For more steps-by-steps, you can consult our Support Centre article on managing sections.
Since the recent subscription update you are also able to sell itemised subscription on your website. However, subscription plans associated with items cannot be sold through your Point of Sale at the moment.
If I understood correctly, the way you set up your subscription is to have your customers redeem it in store. Itemised subscriptions may not be the best solution for your restaurant then, but it might be worth reading about setting up Item Subscription.
If you want to learn more about the Square Subscription update, you might this FAQ article handy.
I hope this help!
hi, is there any update on the subscription for services option? I am a Nail salon and would like to group a few of my services we offer in salon to be a subscription for my customers. Or is there a way round this? @Lou8
