Loop Subscriptions
Loop Subscriptions is a Shopify app for managing recurring subscriptions and supporting subscriber retention. Merchants can offer subscription bundles and build-a-box options, while customer portals, cancellation flows, and failed-payment recovery address ongoing subscriber management. Loop Flows lets merchants create subscription workflows with IF-THEN logic without code. The app lists integrations including Klaviyo, Postscript, Attentive, Yotpo, Gorgias, Zendesk, Rebuy, and Google Analytics. Installation takes place through a Shopify account and selected store. The Free plan costs nothing and covers 50 active subscriptions, with a mobile-friendly customer portal, subscription alerts, and growth and revenue analytics. Starter costs $99 a month, billed every 30 days, and lists a 1.0% per-transaction rate; Pro costs $399 a month, billed every 30 days, and lists 0.75% per transaction. Both list a 14-day free trial. Admin API access and webhooks are included in Pro and Enterprise. Loop says migration and onboarding have no fees. Checkout upgrades require Shopify Plus.
