Franmc Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm trying to offer my clients the option to pay for a service upfront or in monthly instalments. Is it possible to only apply a subscription to a variant rather than the product as a whole? Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted May 6, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 6, 2021 It depends what you mean by pay in installments. If you are using AfterPay to allow customers to pay in installments, this option will appear at checkout, giving customers the option to pay in full or use AfterPay (subject to their approval). If you are referring to Subscription Products, these are managed separately on Squarespace and don't even use the same checkout. If a Subscription Product is added to the cart, the customer will be forced to checkout with this separately. For this reason, Subscription Products must be separate. It isn't possible to add a subscription variant to a Physical or Service Product. However, if you have a Subscription Product and a separate Physical/Service Product, you could use some custom code to display the subscription option as a button beside the standard add to cart button, so that customers see 'One Time Purchase' and 'Subscribe and Save' options together.

celestewellfed Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Site URL: http://drinkdroplet.com Squarespace— We just need a native function that allows customers to choose either a one-time purchase or a subscription on the same product page.

sruss76 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 you need to log this as a feature request by creating a ticket. Squarespace doesn't monitor this forum, per their rules, for feature requests. creedon 1 Link to comment

Hey there! I'm looking to add a button option for the subscription product inside my normal product, just as you described. Do you happen to know what's the code for that? Link to comment

intentionalplan Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 We offer a physical product for sale and also a subscription support for the usage of the product as an add on charge if the customer would like it. Is there a way to embed the option to add the subscription with the physical product? What is happening now is it has to be completed as two separate transactions and that will definitely impede our sales. Link to comment

jagnz Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Can we at least create a subscription (service) product with variants for different subscription lengths, eg, 1mo, 3mo and 6mo options? Or do each of these have to be created as separate products? Link to comment
ChironOrganic Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I upgraded my membership just to be able to use this, thinking I could have a one time and recurring purchase but seems like not. How could this ever be possible? It seems every online store has this as a standard- why not us? Link to comment
