Configure your bi-monthly subscription plans

Configure your shipping months

For bi-monthly subscriptions, you will first need to define your shipping months:

• January - March - May, …

OR

• February - April - June, …

You will need to inform us by email of your shipping months so we can configure them correctly for your plans, at the same time as activating the payment module on your website.

Subsequently, whenever you want to create new bi-monthly plans, you will need to let us know for the correct configuration of your shipping months.

Configure your plans

For your bi-monthly plans, you will enter:

• 1 shipment over a 2-month cycle for a bi-monthly plan
• 3 shipments over a 6-month cycle, in the example of a so-called long subscription

Then, define your billing period, as presented in the article dedicated to creating a plan: read the article

Managing bi-monthly subscriptions

Reference points at the subscription level

Let’s take the example of a bi-monthly plan with a billing period from the 1st to the 10th and with the following shipping months: January, March, May, July, September, and November.

Your subscriptions will automatically renew every 2 months.

A new subscriber placing an order between March 11th and May 10th:

• will receive the May box (first box)
• will have a next payment date of June 1st for the July box

The payment months therefore do not correspond to your shipping months. However, each subscriber does have a 2-month period between each renewal of their subscription. And each subscriber will have received their box before their next payment.

Reference points at the delivery slip level

Using the same example, a customer who subscribes between March 11th and May 10th will have a first delivery slip created on the date they place their order and scheduled for April 1st for the May box.

The export of delivery slips for the May box is done based on scheduling dates between March 11th and May 10th.
