Built for
- Curated monthly boxes
- Customer-selected snack boxes
- Repeat product bundles
- Boxes with changing preferences
01Plan the box
Create a build-your-own subscription box on Shopify.
Decide which products belong in the box and how customers choose among them. A snack box, for example, could group products into separate categories so the choice is easier to follow.
- Configure box products and component groups.
- Connect the box to the relevant Shopify products.
- Preview pricing and selection rules before publishing.
02Storefront experience
Connect the selected box to a recurring offer.
A box selection and a subscription schedule answer different questions: what the customer receives and when it repeats. Review both together before checkout.
- Show the available box choices on the storefront.
- Pair the selection with the matching subscription offer.
- Test the complete purchase with your catalog and theme.
03After the first order
Help subscribers keep their box useful.
Preferences can change between deliveries. Let customers or your team preview supported box edits before applying them to the subscription.
- Review current box contents.
- Preview product selections and price changes.
- Check that the next subscription details reflect the confirmed change.
Questions
Subscription boxes: common questions
How do I create a build-your-own subscription box on Shopify?
Define the available products and selection groups in Anchor Subscriptions, then pair the box with a selling plan. Preview the selection rules and price, and test the full storefront purchase with your theme. Confirm which box changes customers can make before the next order.
What is a build-a-box subscription?
A build-a-box subscription lets customers choose products within the options you define, then purchase that selection on a recurring schedule. It differs from a fixed box whose contents are selected entirely by the merchant.
Can customers change their box?
Anchor Subscriptions supports previews and changes for supported box selections through customer accounts. Test the available choices and pricing with your own box configuration before launch.
