Is Joy Subscriptions really free to install?

Yes. Joy is free for your first 6 months or first $1M in subscription revenue, whichever comes first. No credit card, no trial expiration, no feature gates. After the milestone, Joy charges 1.5% of subscription revenue only — so we only earn when you earn.

How long does it take to set up Joy Subscriptions on Shopify?

Most merchants go live in under 24 hours. After installing from the Shopify App Store, message our team inside the app — we configure your plans, widget, and customer portal for you. No developer needed.

Can I migrate from Recharge, Appstle, Seal Subscriptions, or Bold Subscriptions?

Yes, and Joy handles the migration free. Our team moves existing subscriptions, plans, and customer data with zero disruption to active subscribers. Billing schedules, discount structures, and subscription history are preserved.

Does Joy Subscriptions work with any Shopify theme?

Joy works with every Shopify 2.0 theme out of the box — Dawn, Impulse, Warehouse, Prestige, and custom themes. The widget automatically adopts your theme colors and fonts. If anything looks off, our team adjusts it for free.

Can customers manage their own subscriptions?

Yes. Subscribers get a branded self-service portal where they can skip, pause, swap products, update delivery frequency, or cancel — without opening a support ticket. This reduces churn and support volume.

What subscription analytics does Joy provide?

Joy includes real-time dashboards for MRR (monthly recurring revenue), churn rate, customer lifetime value (LTV), retention cohorts, and inventory forecasting. Automated email reports and CSV exports are included on all plans.

How does Joy handle failed subscription payments?

Smart dunning auto-retries failed charges on a customizable schedule, sends branded recovery emails, and lets customers update their payment method in one click. Most merchants recover 30 to 50 percent of failed payments automatically.

What does Joy cost after the free period ends?

After your first 6 months or $1M in subscription revenue, Joy charges a flat 1.5% of subscription revenue — no monthly fees, no transaction fees, no per-subscriber charges. Full pricing details are available at joysubscription.com/pricing.

What kind of support does Joy offer?

24/7 in-app chat support with typical reply times under 5 minutes. Every merchant gets a dedicated success rep who reviews the initial setup, tests plans, and checks in as the subscription program grows. Real humans — not AI-only support.

Who owns my subscription data if I install Joy?

You do. Joy never resells or shares customer data. Merchants can export everything in standard formats (CSV, JSON) at any time. If you switch to another subscription app, your history migrates with you.
