A coffee subscription needs to work after the first order too. What happens when payment renews, a customer skips a month or a coffee runs out? Test your subscription app and coffee supplier together before you start.

Disclosure: This is a Dripshipper guide. We used supplier information and have not tested the services side by side.

The shortlist

01Dripshipper

Best for repeat orders of Dripshipper coffee

Choose the coffees you want customers to receive, then test our store connection with your subscription app. Try a renewal, a skip and a cancellation. A working first order does not prove those changes will work too. [source]

02Roastify

Best for a coffee subscription in printed boxes

Roastify works with Shopify and uses printed cardboard boxes with a bag and valve inside. Check that its coffee choices are enough for your subscription. Dripshipper has more coffees if you want to offer more variety. Test your subscription app with either supplier. [source]

03Path Coffee Roasters

Best for planning with an account manager

Path gives you an account manager to ask about repeat orders and coffee changes. Find out how much notice you get if a product changes. Having a named contact may help, but we have not tested whether its service is better than the others. [source]

Test repeat orders and changes

  • What happens if a coffee runs outAsk whether you can choose a replacement, let customers choose or pause the order.
  • The right details on repeat ordersCheck the coffee, amount, grind and address on a renewal order, not just the first purchase.
  • Time to skip or cancelFind out when it is too late to stop an order. Give customers the same deadline.
  • Good coffee over timeTry later deliveries too. One good sample does not tell you how the next six orders will taste.

The same blend or a new coffee each month?

Someone subscribing to one blend may want the same coffee every month. Someone joining a coffee discovery club expects new coffees. Tell the supplier what you plan to offer. Agree on replacements for a regular blend. For a changing selection, choose the next coffees early enough to update the descriptions and tell customers.

Before taking subscription payments

  1. Choose the same coffees each month or a changing selection.
  2. Check that payments create the right orders and send them to the supplier.
  3. Test renewals, skips, address changes and cancellations.
  4. Write down what you will do if a coffee runs out and how you will tell customers.

Frequently asked questions

Do these suppliers take subscription payments for me?

Do not assume so. This guide covers making and shipping coffee orders. Check payment features separately with your store and subscription app.

Can I promise delivery on the same date every month?

Only if the time to prepare and deliver each order supports that promise. We have not tested delivery times. Check with the supplier and allow for carrier delays.
