Mixing a subscription with one-time products in one order can complicate billing, taxes, and gateway handling. Turning off Allow Mixed Checkout forces separate orders — a cart is either subscription items or regular products, not both. This recipe enforces subscriptions-only checkout.

What you get
  • Subscriptions and one-time products check out separately.
  • Cleaner recurring orders and renewal handling.
  • Fewer gateway edge cases from mixed carts.
  • Independent of the multi-subscription settings.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes — they just can’t combine them with a subscription in the same order. Regular products check out normally on their own.

No. Mixed checkout only governs subscription + non-subscription mixing; multi-subscription carts are a separate setting.
