Can I temporarly pause my subscriptions in bulk?

There's a quick workaround that exists, if your store will (also) pause all fulfillments for one-time purchases for the duration.

 

STEP 1

  • First, go to your Shopify Admin and set the stock of all products which you offer as subscriptions to 0.
  • Next, go to: Seal Subscriptions > Settings > Inventory settings and check the "Skip automatic renewals if one or more items are out of stock" option.
  • Lastly, go to: Seal Subscriptions > Settings > Customer portal > Subscription editing and disable these options: "Allow customers to change subscription interval", "Allow customers to reschedule an upcoming payment" and "Allow customers to charge themselves at any time"

 

STEP 2 (Optional)

Include a message for your subscribers, that will show up on the top of customer portal.

Here's how that would look like:

You will need to add the bellow line of code to: Seal Subscriptions > Settings > Customer portal > Other settings > Customer portal header.

(Replace the lorem ipsum sample text with anything you want)

 

Code:

<div class="seal-sectioned" style="text-align: center;margin: 0 auto;max-width: 1090px;margin-top: 15px;box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(63, 63, 68, 0.05), 0 1px 3px 0 rgba(63, 63, 68, 0.15);"> <b>Lorem ipsum </b>dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In a blandit ex. Ut vehicula feugiat lorem, a iaculis eros ullamcorper et. Cras placerat magna vel elit faucibus, a tempor felis posuere. </div>

<!-- TO MODIFY TEXT, SIMPLY REPLACE THE TEXT > to </div> WITH ANYTHING YOU LIKE -->

 

This should hopefully help you out - all subscriptions will keep being skipped until you can start fulfilling them again (when you set stock back up) and customers will be informed in the customer portal header. I suggest you also send a mass email to all of your customer informing them of this change. :)
