Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

This article is for account owners who want to:

  • Sell subscriptions or memberships.

  • Charge customers automatically on a recurring billing cycle.

  • Offer ongoing services, software access, or recurring physical products.

  • Use recurring products inside an online store, funnel, or order form.

What Are Recurring Products

Recurring products are products configured with a repeating billing cycle instead of a one-time charge.

When a customer purchases a recurring product:

  • The customer is charged automatically on the defined schedule.

  • Billing continues until the subscription is canceled.

  • Payments are handled through Kyrios Payments.

  • The product can be sold in an online store, funnel, or one-step order form.

How to Create or Edit a Recurring Product

Step 1: Open Products

  1. Go to Payments in the left navigation.

  2. Select Products at the top.

Step 2: Add or Edit a Product

You can configure recurring billing on a new or existing product.

  • Click Add Product to create a new product, or

  • Click an existing product to edit it, or

  • Duplicate an existing product and edit the duplicate.

Step 3: Enable Recurring Pricing

Inside the product editor:

  1. Set the product price as Recurring.

  2. Choose the billing cycle (for example: monthly or annually).

  3. Review the recurring charge details.

  4. Enable Include in online store.

The product is now treated as a subscription product.

Displaying Recurring Products in Your Online Store

Step 1: Open the Store Builder

  1. Go to Sites in the left navigation.

  2. Open your store inside Websites / Stores.

  3. Launch the page builder.

Step 2: Review Store UI Support for Recurring Products

The store automatically supports recurring products with the following behaviors:

  • Subscription options display clearly on product cards.

  • Cart items reflect the selected product variant.

  • Recurring pricing is shown consistently across product and cart views.

No additional configuration is required to enable recurring behavior once the product is set correctly.

Customizing Store UI for Recurring Products

You can customize how recurring products appear in your store.

Available Customizations

From the Navigation Menu Element settings:

  • Change pill background colors.

  • Change pill text colors.

  • Toggle the cart icon on or off.

  • Control the “Show more” behavior for long product descriptions.

  • Display variant-specific images inside the cart.

  • Set the Continue Shopping button to return customers to the product list page.

These settings apply to both one-time and recurring products.

Save and Publish Requirements

After creating or editing recurring products:

  1. Save your changes in the builder.

  2. Publish all store pages.

This step is required even if you only changed product settings.

If you do not publish all pages:

  • The live store may display outdated styles.

  • Builder and live views may not match.
