Awtomic runs subscription and membership programs for Shopify merchants, handling the recurring-order mechanics that native tools skip: build-a-box flows, prepaid terms, dynamic discount ladders, and add-on upsells at checkout. The platform targets DTC brands where repeat purchase economics drive the P&L — coffee, supplements, pet, beauty — and gives retention managers granular control over churn-moment offers, bundle composition, and cohort-level analytics without routing work through developers.
> pick this if
Pick this if you're a Shopify DTC brand in consumables, beauty, or pet where subscription is the core revenue model and you need build-a-box, prepaid, and cancellation-flow control without engineering involvement.
> look elsewhere if
Look elsewhere if you're on a non-Shopify stack, run subscriptions as a secondary motion behind one-time purchase, or need enterprise-grade B2B recurring billing with complex tax, entitlements, and contract logic.

- Pet treats brand, $5–15M GMV, 1 retention manager plus agency supportUsing cancellation-flow logic to present targeted save offers — swap, skip, downgrade, discount — based on cancel reason and tenure, with cohort dashboards feeding monthly retention reviews→ Recovers 25–40% of cancellation attempts and gives the retention manager a self-serve testing surface that previously required dev tickets
