Introduction #
Time-Based Series Subscriptions are used when product delivery depends on a defined time schedule. This feature is suitable for subscriptions such as courses or programs that are available for a specific time period selected during setup.
Merchants can configure a series where products are delivered based on dates rather than order count.
Why It Matters #
Time-Based Series Subscriptions support structured delivery schedules.
They help merchants manage time-sensitive offerings with predictable fulfillment.
This ensures customers receive products only within the intended availability window.
