Read-only subscription QA for Shopify agencies

Catch subscription regressions before your clients do.

PlanLatch compares configured Shopify selling plans with the live widget, product form, and temporary cart on desktop and mobile—then returns a reproducible failure report your team can act on.

REPRODUCIBLE INCIDENT

Subscription is lost before the cart

The storefront showed Subscribe and submitted a plan, but the Shopify cart line returned without an allocation.

Suggested next checkInspect custom add-to-cart, bundle, or cart-drawer code for a dropped selling_plan value.

The storefront contract

Five states every subscription implementation must preserve.

A visible widget is not proof. PlanLatch follows the state Shopify actually needs from purchase intent to cart allocation.

01

Widget visibility

The subscription choice exists and remains usable on desktop and mobile.

02

Subscribe → form

Selecting Subscribe puts the correct selling_plan into the active product form.

03

Form → cart

The temporary cart line returns from Shopify with selling_plan_allocation attached.

04

One-time means one-time

Switching back to one-time clears every stale selling-plan value.

05

Variant-switch stability

Changing a variant does not silently restore an unwanted subscription.

Agency workflow

A deterministic re-check after every risky change.

  1. 1

    Authorize

    Install PlanLatch only on client-approved stores. The Shopify app requests read-products access and no customer or order scopes.

  2. 2

    Trigger

    Re-check after theme, product, variant, bundle, or subscription-app changes, with scheduled checks between releases.

  3. 3

    Prove

    Load the live storefront in isolated desktop and mobile sessions, inspect form state, and verify the temporary cart allocation.

  4. 4

    Resolve

    Give developers the affected URL, viewport, screenshot, failed state, and next check—then close the incident on a passing re-test.

Client-safe by design

Test the storefront contract without entering subscriber data.
