One charge day for every subscriber
Charge every subscriber on the same day, whenever they joined. This walkthrough shows how to set a fixed billing date for Shopify subscriptions and subscription boxes with Fixed calendar, new in Curobi. Rolling billing charges each customer on the day they signed up, so a monthly box ends up with charges spread across the whole month. Fixed calendar puts everyone on one charge day and one ship day, so you buy, pack and ship in one batch.

Questions this video answers
- How do I charge all my Shopify subscribers on the same day?
- Open the subscription plan in Curobi, go to Schedule and switch the billing calendar from Rolling to Fixed calendar. Pick a charge day from 1 to 28 and, if you need packing time, a ship day.
- What is the difference between rolling and fixed calendar billing?
- Rolling billing counts from the day each customer signed up. Fixed calendar charges every subscriber on the same dates each month or season.
- Can I bill a subscription box only in certain months?
- Yes. Tick only the months you charge, for example Jan, Jun, Jul, Nov and Dec for five drops a year.
- What happens when someone subscribes between charge days?
- You choose: their first box waits for the next batch, or ships right away and then joins the calendar. Either way they pay at checkout.
- What happens when a subscriber skips or reschedules?
- A skip moves to the next charge date, and a reschedule snaps to one, so nobody drifts off the calendar.

Seasonal Subscription Box? Charge Only the Months You Ship | Shopify Subscriptions
Selling a seasonal or quarterly box? You don't have to charge every month. In Curobi's Fixed calendar, open the plan's Schedule and tick only the months you ship. The checkout line updates as you tick, so customers see exactly which months they are charged, and nobody is charged in between.

Everyone pays on the 10th, and someone subscribes on the 23rd. In Curobi's Fixed calendar you decide what happens: set an order cutoff so late orders roll into the next batch, then choose the first box. It waits for the next batch, or it ships right away and joins the calendar after. Either way, they pay at checkout.
