Recurrify subscription plans are independent commerce records. They are not Shopify products or variants and can be reused by subscription offers across eligible checkouts.
Create a plan
Define the billing schedule
Open Plans and choose Add plan. Enter the plan name, description, interval count, interval unit, and any trial days. The plan name and description prefill subscription offer copy.
Add pricing phases
Enter a price and the number of billing cycles for each limited phase. Add a final phase with no cycle limit for the ongoing price. For example, charge $49.99 for three cycles, then $69.99 until cancellation.
Upload the plan image
Open the plan detail page and upload an image. Subscription offers and checkout order summaries can use this plan-owned image without requiring a Shopify product.
Link the plan to a checkout offer
Open a checkout's Offers tab, create a supported pre-purchase offer, and select Subscription. Choose the plan; product fields disappear and the plan title, description, image, and first phase price are used.

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|

| Final phase | Should normally have no cycle limit |
