Multiple subscriptions per customer
The open model — a customer can own as many subscriptions as they like and add several to one cart. It’s the default, and this recipe confirms the settings.
- Many subs per customer
- Several in one cart
- Default model
Most stores want customers to hold more than one subscription — a box plus a membership, two seats, multiple products. ArraySubs allows this out of the box: there’s no per-customer cap, and a customer can add several subscriptions to one cart. This recipe documents the exact General Settings for the open, multi-subscription model so you can confirm (or restore) it.
- A customer can own unlimited concurrent subscriptions.
- Several subscription products can be bought in one order.
- Plans with different billing cycles can share a cart.
- No checkout blocks — the most permissive model.
