Create a pre order subscriptrion (waiting list)

Following the steps below will make the first subscription charge for a certain product free, but you don't have to fulfill the order until the 2nd renewal, which you can set a custom date for.

The 2nd renewal should be discounted for the amount you set and will run indefinitely for the subscribers that per-order the subscription product(s).

After you launch the site, just delete the subscription rule and create a new one without the below settings.

With that said, here is a step by step guide on doing so:

1. SUBSCRIPTION RULES

  • Go to: Seal Subscriptions > Subscriptions Rules and create a new rule.
  • Add the desired product(s) and name the subscription.
  • At the "Selling plans" section, enter the desired name, interval, requirements.
  • Set the discount mode to percentage discount and set the amount to 100%.
  • Check the "Change discount after specific number of payments" box and set the "Adjustment value" to your desired discount amount.
  • Click on save rule.

2. FIXED SCHEDULES

  • Go to: Seal Subscriptions >Fixed schedules and click on "Create fixed schedule."
  • Under the "Apply on subscriptions with billing interval set to," make sure you select the correct interval you set in the subscription rules. (Eg.: 1 month if you set 1 month).
  • Set the billing date to the day your store will (re)launch.
  • Check the box "The customers agree with and expect to be charged according to this fixed schedule." and save.

3. QUICK CHECKOUT WIZARD

  • Go to: Seal Subscriptions >Fixed schedules > Quick checkout wizard.
  • Enter the selling plan and the products below.
  • You've now created a quick checkout url, which can be used for the marketing scheme.

This is how it would look like in the checkout stage:

 

In conclusion, by following the above steps correctly, your customers can subscribe to the product(s) using the quick checkout link created for free (which will not be fulfilled) and get a discounted price once you relaunch the store. This approach not only attracts initial subscribers but also ensures they receive ongoing value, increasing long-term value and loyalty.

Remember to update or remove the subscription rules as needed after launching your site.
