I'm getting the error "Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan" when adding to cart

This means our widget is not properly added to the product page

A very common error is that when customers try to add your membership product to the cart, they see the error Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan. A selling plan is the name given by Shopify to purchase options, such as memberships or subscriptions.

Simplee Memberships updates your Shopify product to require a selling plan so that customers can't accidentally purchase the product without recurring billing properties.

  • Be sure you have installed our widget on the theme your are experiencing the issue on

    • Select the theme you're updating, and click on Update Theme
