Introducing Shopify Subscription APIs
https://www.shopify.comShopify has built out a set of tools for developers to build apps that offer subscriptions, and embed those apps seamlessly within their platform.
Starting today, you can use the Shopify Subscription APIs and Product Subscription App Extension to build apps that support emerging business models for merchants.
These new APIs and app extension will enable you to:
- Build on Shopify Checkout. Build subscription apps that are native to Shopify Checkout. Focus on improving the subscription buying and management experience on top of Shopify’s fast and reliable checkout.
- Fully integrate with Shopify. With subscription orders created and managed by Shopify, your app remains compatible with platform features (like Shopify Payments, shipping, discounts, reporting, etc.) and the entire app ecosystem.
- Solve for emerging merchant needs. Power new business models not yet available on Shopify. While selling subscription products is a known merchant need today, our new APIs are built to empower you to create new ways of selling for tomorrow.
