# Recurring Payments for Subscriptions

![Screenshot of the "Recurring payments for subscriptions" card](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/d13e90de659a8800/image_14i0si6.png)

Use the "Recurring payments for subscriptions" settings to control how the discount applies on subscription orders. We intentionally used the same options as Shopify does.

## Options
* **Limit discount to the first payment:** No recurring payments will receive a discount; only the first order.
* **Limit discount to multiple recurring payments:** The first order, and a finite number of recurring payments will receive the discount. The number you enter includes the first order. For example, if you enter `3`, then the first order and 2 subsequent payments will be discounted.
* **Discount applies to all recurring payments:** The first order and all recurring payments will receive the discount.

## Use cases
* **"First order of a subscription only" / "First box free"** — set to **Limit discount to the first payment**. Not the same as "first-time customer" (use a `customer number of orders == 1` condition for that).
* **Intro pricing for N months** — set to **Limit discount to multiple recurring payments** with the count (including the first).
* **Permanent subscriber discount** — set to **Discount applies to all recurring payments**.

These settings are tied to Shopify's API and not directly implemented by our app. You can find more information about these settings here: 
* [appliesOnSubscription](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/DiscountAutomaticApp#field-DiscountAutomaticApp.fields.appliesOnSubscription)

# Where to find these settings
This setting is part of the collapsible **__Advanced Options__** section at the very end of the discount page as highlighted in the following screenshot.
