Overview

Ordergroove supports subscriptions with multiple bundle components, allowing customers to have a subscription to a single product but configure a variety of items within that subscription for a set price.

Your customers with subscriptions to bundles can easily manage their bundle with out-of-the-box capabilities from Ordergroove such as changing the upcoming order date, skipping, sending now, updating the frequency, and more.

NOTE: Merchants are responsible for building the enrollment flow and any experiences required to edit bundle components utilizing Ordergroove’s suite of REST APIs. For enrollment, currently, only one bundle can be purchased with subscriptions at a time in the cart.
