Create Gift and Discounted Memberships

Learn how to create and offer gift Memberships to your customers using Shopify's subscription discount feature. This allows you to provide free or discounted Memberships for a set period or indefinitely.

How it work

Shopify's discount codes for subscription products allow you to create specialized discounts for the paid Membership tiers you've set up in Single.

These discounts can be applied in 3 ways:

  • Discount on first payment only, then normal billing
  • Discount on a set number of subscription payments
  • Discount on all future payments (like a lifetime free membership)
