This is Miguel from the Shopify Support Department. I have been working on your request regarding any app that can offer the subscription/recurring payment feature for your new store you are working on. Here I have some suggestions for you:
Please remember that these are just some apps I recommend based on their rating. However, it is important to check with the app developer if they offer the specific feature you are looking for before getting in any paid plan. Some of them offer free features I suggest you take a look at. Additionally, here I found some information you can check regarding subscription businesses:
Finally, as I mentioned before, there is nothing like a Shopify theme created specially for a subscription-based business. However, here I found some suggestions that are really interesting:
These are just some suggestions. Please remember that more than a theme, what really makes your business a great subscription-based project is the apps integrated and the strategy you pick. I'm glad you reached out to Shopify so we could address this together. If you have any more questions please reply to this email or just contact our Support Team or Shopify Help Center for any future Inquiries. Best Regards, Miguel Murillo Shopify | Support Advisor
I'm in the process of developing a finance-oriented subscription-based website and have a few inquiries:
1.
I'm looking to implement a feature where visitors can access the first
few paragraphs of a subscription product for free. However, once they
scroll down to read further, I'd like the remaining content to be
visible only to paid subscribers. I'm aiming for a setup similar to the
following page: https://readmake.com/#4-12
2.
I understand that I can handle payments through platforms like Stripe
and PayPal, but how can I set up recurring payments for my subscribers
on your platform?
3. Could you provide insight into the differences between Wix and Kajabi
Shopify doesn’t have a built-in online course and membership creation
tool. To add this function to your Shopify account, you either integrate
an LMS platform, like Kajabi and Thinkific or install the add-on
“Courses” from the Shopify store.

Juan-giron joined the conversation
Hello, nice to chat with you Jun, My name is Juan and i would be happy to assist you today
Greetings,
I'm in the process of developing a finance-oriented subscription-based website and have a few inquiries:
1. I'm looking to implement a feature where visitors can access the first few paragraphs of a subscription product for free. However, once they scroll down to read further, I'd like the remaining content to be visible only to paid subscribers. I'm aiming for a setup similar to the following page:https://readmake.com/#4-12
2. I understand that I can handle payments through platforms like Stripe and PayPal, but how can I set up recurring payments for my subscribers on your platform?
Thanks for letting me know Jun
regarding the option to create a recurring payments using Wix, it is possible to do it by using a Pricing plan
With this feature, for example: you can create pages who only paying subscribers can access, or you can include services available only for paying subscribers
Now, related to the option to hide some of the content of an article for non subscribers, i will need to check further
i see. how often will wix payment provide payouts to my bank account?
and what is the fees of wix payment if I accept money from customers in USD and receive them through my Canadian bank account (the final currency should be CAD)
There are three payout schedules you can choose from, depending on the needs of your business:
Daily: Payouts are sent every day, including transactions that were made before the daily cut-off time*. Any transactions received after that time will be included in the next day's payout.
Weekly: Payouts are sent every Monday. You can change this to any other day of the week through your account settings.
Monthly: Payouts are sent on the 1st of every month. You can change this to any other day of the month through your account settings. In months with less than 29 days, payouts are sent on the last day of the month.
* About the payout cut-off time: Depending on your region, Wix Payments sends payouts every day at the following time:
US: 6AM EST.
Europe: 6AM GMT.
You can choose and change your payout schedule at any time from your Wix Payments account settings. Whichever schedule you select will apply to all your Wix Payments payment methods.
thanks, what about the second question
My pleasure Jun, now regarding your second question, if you setup your site to receive USD currency then the payments will be made to your bank in USD, your bank will need to convert that to Canadian Dollars.
The fees are as follows
Credit/Debit Card: 2.9% of the transaction amount + 0.30 CAD
Apple Pay: 2.9% of the transaction amount + 0.30 CAD
Google Pay: 2.9% of the transaction amount + 0.30 CAD
Wix Payments Point of Sale (POS): 2.7% of the transaction amount + 0 CAD
Canada Interac: 0.15 CAD per transaction
Wix Payments Manual Card Entry: 3.5% of the transaction amount + 0.30 CAD
Refunded payments fees: For refunded payments, standard Wix Payments processing fees apply. For example, if you issue a $100 refund to your customer, the original processing fee of $2.90 (2.9%) + $0.30 for that customer's purchase will not be paid back to your Wix Payments account. No additional refund fees will be charged
Chargeback fees: If you receive a chargeback in your Wix Payments account, you may incur a chargeback fee of 15 CAD. Exceptions may apply.
"then the payments will be made to your bank in USD, your bank will need to convert that to Canadian Dollars." ---> the bank can't convert from USD to CAD. Will Wix payment convert USD to CAD according to the current currency?
Well Jun, since you will be connecting a Canadian bank, but want to charge in USD i will need to send your question to the Wix payments team so they can explain to you how it works
yes, please
At this moment there is no one available to take the chat, so it will need to be escalated offline
Does Wix Payment work on the Business plan as well? (There are 4 plans on wix and the business plan is the cheapest one)
They will be contacting you by email as soon as they have feedback for you, or if they require more information
can u answer the above question
yes Jun
you can use Wix payments with the following plans
Business Elite, business, and Core
got it. one last thing
"Now, related to the option to hide some of the content of an article for non subscribers, i will need to check further Please hold 3-5 minutes while I look into this"
--> did you look into this issue?
if you don't know, you can also answer it via email along with the previous currency question
Regarding the possibility to hide some content of an article for non subscribers, we don't really have any feature like that, however you can create a page with the introduction of the article, that will be available for the public, and then create the full page with permissions for subscribers only
No, i just checked and we do not have any feature like that out of the box,
we can send a suggestion to the development team so it can be reviewed, and if it's possible add it to Wix in the future, but currently we can only offer you the workaround i sent before
Not really Jun, since that website was created outside of Wix, we can not really check how it was made, i was looking for any add ons or plugins that will allow you to achieve something like that, but currently Wix has none available
i see. thank you for your help
have a good day and don't forget to send me the email!
so if i embed these codes in the editor page (html version), then they will be only available to paid users?
No, this is not embed code, it will require you to know how to code and adapt the code to your needs and variables
i don't think you got my point.
"another way around will be to use coding to hide some elements" is what you said
if you don't embed code in the html , then where do you embed it
yes, but is not embed code, like a widget
so the link you showed me is about widget?
No, the link i sent you is so you can have an idea on how to do it but we do not have an specific guide to do that
Actually the code that shows up o the article i sent you may not work for your particular needs, so is not just to copy and paste it to your site
just be a little more specific. the code in the link --> where does it apply to? it doesn't matter whether it works for me or not. I just want to get a clear picture.
if it's not html editor, widget, then where is it
for the above case
it goes on the HTML editor of your editor, let me show you
You need to turn on developer mode on your editor
well, so it's html editor. you said it's not, but that's the place where I or my developer should work to hide the text and make it only available to paid users
Then your editor will show up a section below
Well, at wix we have two options to work with HTML
one is called Embed code, and is basically a widget where you can copy and paste an HTML code that will work for certain function
the other one is the HTML editor that shows up when you turn on Developer mode
I just wanted to clarify the difference
well, codes need to be embeded to either of them eventually. i don't really care about the vocabulary
anways what needs to be done is embeding codes to one of them, correct?
Ok Jun, yes, you need to create the code and add it to the HTML editor to make it work
on the left side of the editor.
