Moving over from Appstle Subscriptions
Your existing subscribers do not have to order again. You export the running subscriptions as CSV and map the columns in Loyalo to customer, product, frequency, amount and next delivery date. Loyalo checks every row and shows what will be created; nothing happens until you click Import. The import sends no emails and charges nothing. A payment method comes along when it is stored in Shopify or as an iDEAL mandate in your own Mollie account; otherwise the customer sets it up again.
