On first install, complete a one-time onboarding flow that provisions your SubscriptionFlow workspace and tenant account.

5. Setting Up Subscription Products in Wix

Wix does not natively support SubscriptionFlow product types. Instead, subscription functionality is implemented using a variant-based structure. This allows a single product to support both one-time and recurring purchase options.

Each purchase type (e.g., One-Time, Monthly) is configured as a product variant. These variants are later used to determine checkout behavior and pricing.

5.1 Accessing Product Settings

  1. Go to Wix Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Store Products
  3. Create a new product or edit an existing one
  4. Scroll to the Product Options section

5.2 Creating Purchase Option

Add a new product option that will control purchase type selection:

  • Option Name: Purchase Option
  • Field Type: Text

This option allows customers to choose between one-time and subscription purchases directly on the product page.

5.3 Defining Subscription Variants

Add the following values:

  • One-Time
  • Every 2 Weeks
  • Every Month
  • Every 2 Months

Each value represents a different purchase type and will be used later to determine checkout behavior.

5.4 Generating Variants

  1. Click Apply after adding options
  2. Wix will automatically generate product variants

Each variant now represents a selectable purchase option for the customer.

5.5 Pricing Configuration

Configure pricing for each variant:

Purchase Option Pricing Strategy
One-Time Regular price
Every 2 Weeks Discounted price
Every Month Discounted price
Every 2 Months Discounted price

This pricing model enables "Subscribe & Save" functionality.

5.6 SKU Configuration

Assign unique SKUs for tracking:

Variant Example SKU
One-Time ONE-TIME
Every 2 Weeks 2-WEEK
Every Month 1-MONTH
Every 2 Months 2-MONTH

5.7 Important Naming Guidelines

Important: The system relies on exact naming conventions to detect subscription variants.
  • Use "One-Time" for non-subscription purchases
  • Use "Every" in all subscription options

Avoid:

  • Monthly
  • Weekly
  • Regular
  • Custom labels without "Every"

5.8 Final Outcome

After completing this step:

  • Products support both one-time and subscription purchases
  • Variants are properly structured for detection
  • Pricing is configured for subscription discounts
  • System is ready for frontend and checkout integration
Summary: Products in Wix are converted into subscription-ready products by creating a "Purchase Option" with variant values such as One-Time and recurring frequencies. These variants allow the system to differentiate between purchase types and route users to the correct checkout flow.

6. Support

  • Check Wix store and subscriptions documentation for platform-specific behavior.
