Product Pages - Showing One Time vs Subscription while creating variations
So, I was testing the creation of a membership product and noticed something odd.
I’ve set up two pricing options:
- Annual plan: XXX/year
- Monthly plan: XX/month
Everything works perfectly regarding Direct Checkouts, but there’s one issue:
On the product page, it shows “One Time” vs “Subscription,” even though both options are actually subscription plans.
When you click on any of the “plans,” everything displays correctly (annual and monthly plans are both shown as recurring), but the initial product view doesn’t reflect this properly - it labels the annual plan as “One Time.”
So I’m not sure if I might be missing something here or if this could be a bug.
Also, I’d like to highlight that Custom Checkout Forms would be incredibly useful and much needed.
Not only for creating custom experiences for:
- B2C clients (where you wouldn’t ask for a Tax ID), and
- B2B clients (where more detailed billing info is required),
but also to display all available plans directly within the checkout form itself - that crucial moment when hesitant customers finally decide which plan to choose.
Also a note: recently, some checkout products introduced a “Booster” feature for this type of page, where a toggle lets users switch between plans (e.g. “Click here and save 20% with the annual plan”), automatically updating the cart.
I think it would be a great addition here too! 🔥
Jorge de los Reyes what i don't get: why is there a switcher between "one time" and "subscriptions" and also the "annual-box (in your picture)? in my case, i'd prefer to only have the boxes (like your annual) to switch between subscriptions (the "one time" and "subscription" text is too small anyways)
Manuel Müller exactly :(
Maybe is a misconfiguration from my side.
I just tried to create different plans.
Only to find that this could only be possible (for what I’ve seen) switching from “Simple” pricing to “Variants”.
That could be the cause. Using variants.
I simply just not found where to add more plans inside the simple pricing 😅
Have you succeeded creating different plans? And thus, not having 2 tabs on the product page?
—-
Note: I’m just used to surecart, in which you add pricing plans on the simple tab. And variants is just an add on feature not usually needed for memberships.
Jorge de los Reyes it seems the tabs just display the timeframe (one-time, yearly, monthly)....i didn't get that, my bad.
in my case, i always give the plans a Name, that have the duration included, so i really don't need FCart to make these tabs.
Shahjahan Jewel which use case do these tabs have? (i can't imagine one atm)
Manuel Müller I think it is just how Variants works...
More typical from Physical products: color, size, storage, etc.
But for a membership, and if we are not able to create various plans under "Simple" pricing, it could be a bit confusing I guess...
Let's hear what Jewel has to say! 🙈
I am loving this testing so much.
Can not wait to squeeze the reports section...
Jorge de los Reyes when i choose "none" in the product grouping dropdown, the tabs are gone....
why did i miss that before? 🤔
Manuel Müller Wow - I also missed that!
Thanks a lot for sharing, Manuel.
There’s still plenty left for me to test!
I’ll actually have about a month of a “testing impasse,” but I’ll be back bothering everyone with new queries soon - right after tomorrow’s official launch and a couple of Tax Module updates.
I guess we should let the team work, so I’m planning to jump back in about a month 🤣🥷
Also, here in Spain we’re still waiting for our long-“awaited” Tax Authority–branded software and connectors (expected by the end of October).
How are you seeing things so far?
I’m honestly really excited about migrating some stores!
By the way, I even have an LTD that I’m "sure" 🙃 you could be using too, haha.
You know...
