I am currently working on a product that has a monthly fee, but the delivery schedule is based on the most convenient shipping cadence (read: cheaper). Anyone have any ideas on how this might work and what products we could use to do this on Shopify?

For example: we charge a customer $29.99/mo for their 12lb dog, but only ship every other month. For a different customer with a 100lb dog we charge $100 and ship every 5 weeks or so.

@Noah Finn works at Skio. He probably might know what top brands use to have different delivery schedules and shipping charges.

there are probably other ways to do this, but one way we’ve done this before is building a custom block that shows a selector for the customer (where they can selecte for instance the dog’s weight), and some custom js that handles populating a hidden variant and frequency fields that is then used by the subscription app.

Obviously the script also handles displaying a message to the customer mentioning frequency/price/etc.
