Quick answer
Merchants who want subscription-like replenishment without subscription apps use KitForge quantity breaks for 30/60/90-day supply tiers, FBT for refill attach on hero products, and fixed kits for first-box starter experiences.
- Quantity breaks are the core subscription-style mechanic in KitForge.
- Starter fixed kits acquire; QB retains on refill SKUs.
- FBT boosts first-order refill attach on heroes.
- Label tiers by supply duration for clarity.
Why QB replaces pseudo-subscriptions
KitForge quantity breaks let shoppers choose volume per order without stored payment mandates. Discount functions apply tier pricing at checkout — behavior feels like subscribe-and-save without app churn.
Starter kit plus replenishment QB
Acquisition fixed kit on landing product; replenishment QB on refill SKU PDP. Different PDPs avoid coexistence conflict between inline kit and QB.
KitForge supports fixed kit, FBT, and quantity breaks only — not recurring billing.
