The self service center is the place where your customers can manage their subscription. This article explains how to set up your project so your customers can manage the products on their subscription, meaning customers can add new products to their subscription without having to go through checkout again, and customers can remove any products from their subscription. Before proceeding, make sure you are familiar with the self service center.

Frequently asked questions

​
When is a newly added product billed and shipped?

The new product gets bundled with the customer’s next shipment. That’s also when it will be billed.

​
I am using Shopify, can I use this feature as well?

Yes! This works with Shopify and also supports product variants. Get in touch with us if you want to use this in combination with Shopify.

​
Can customers order a product as a one-off?

Customers will be able to order products as you set them up in the Firmhouse platform. If you set a product to ship every 4 weeks, it is not possible yet to order it as a one-off and vice versa. Customers can adjust shipment frequency for their recurring products (for example, change it from every 4 weeks to every 15 days). For one-off products, it is not possible to adjust frequency in the self service center. Adjust shipment frequency

​
Can I prevent customers from removing their products?

No. Once you enable the option to let customers add products to their subscription, you also give them the option to remove products.
