Seal Subscriptions
Seal Subscriptions is a Shopify app for merchants offering recurring purchases through automatic charges or recurring invoices. It supports subscription discounts, including tiered and loyalty discounts, and gives subscribers a portal to view, edit or cancel subscriptions using a magic link or Shopify account login. Merchants can review payment activity in analytics and a calendar covering upcoming, skipped, failed, completed, pending and scheduled payments. Inventory tools support forecasting and let merchants skip renewals when products are out of stock. The Merchant API can retrieve subscription details, update subscriptions and create webhooks. Listed integrations include Bundler, Klaviyo, PageFly, Gempages and Google Analytics. Sensitive customer data is encrypted in the database using AES algorithms, with access restricted; collected data is stored on secure servers in Toronto, Canada. Personal data is deleted seven days after a merchant stops using the service and uninstalls the app unless retained longer for business purposes. The free plan covers 50 total subscriptions. Paid plans start at $5.95/mo, and a 30-day trial is listed.
