Set Up Gift Memberships

Shopify offers discount code functionality for subscription products, allowing you to create specialized discount codes for Membership Products created in Single with the following options:

    • Discount applies to the first subscription payment only, customer then billed monthly as normal.
    • Discount applies to X # of subscription payments.
    • Discount applies to all recurring subscription payments moving forward -- which effectively works as a "lifetime comp'd" membership.
