SubscriptionBridge - ProductCart Integration: Features

Existing Features

  • Easily sell a subscription on your ProductCart-powered store by linking a SubscriptionBridge “package” to a product in your ProductCart store catalog
  • Support the sale of recurring and non-recurring items at the same time (unless both items require shipping and/or taxes)
  • Automatically show the subscription terms during checkout, without having to enter any information in ProductCart
  • Add a “Terms & Conditions” document that customers must agree to before purchasing the subscription
    • At the store level (e.g. same document for different subscriptions)
    • At the product level (e.g. different document for different subscriptions)

Selling one-time purchase items and subscriptions at the same time

Planned Features

  • Ability to handle SubscriptionBridge package “features”
  • Ability to print UPS and FedEx labels for subscriptions that require recurring shipments

Limitations

There is a limitation in the handling of a “mixed” shopping cart. That is, SubscriptionBridge can handle the sale of subscription and non-subscription (one time purchase) items only when:

  • All items are non-shipping and non-taxable (e.g. digital goods + technical support subscription)
  • Either the subscription item OR the single purchase items are non-shipping and non-taxable (e.g. shipping, taxable goods + extended warranty subscription)

The system does not handle the sale of subscription and non-subscription items at the same time when all of them require shipping and handling. This is due to the challenges of splitting shipping charges and taxes among the one-time sale and recurring billing profile. This limitation might be removed in the future.
