Adding one-time products to an upcoming order
Customers may wish to add a single product to one of their upcoming subscription orders. This is called a one-time product, and it can be added to an existing subscription address by following the Add Product flow in the customer portal.
Understanding one-time products
The difference between a one-time product and a subscription product is the frequency. As the name suggests, a one-time purchase is only added to the specified upcoming order. Customers will not receive the item again in future recurring orders unless they manually add the product.
If a customer does not have any upcoming recurring orders, a one-time purchase can be added to an unused address with a custom charge date.
Adjust one-time product settings
You can determine which products will be visible as one-time products by adjusting your customer portal settings.
- In the merchant portal, click Storefront and select Customer Portal.
- Under Subscription details, select Storeowner and customer from the dropdown for Add products to subscriptions.
- Under Products available for purchase on the customer portal, select your product options from the dropdown.
