What are recurring subscription products?

Recurring subscription products are goods or services delivered on a scheduled basis i.e. weekly, monthly, or annually, where customers are billed automatically. These are foundational to subscription businesses and ensure consistent revenue over time.

Why are they important?

They create predictable cash flow, enhance customer retention, and streamline inventory and forecasting for merchants.

Recurring subscription products examples

Meal kits (e.g., HelloFresh)
Pet food subscriptions
Personal care items (e.g., razors, vitamins)
Digital services (e.g., software licenses)
