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

Updated over 5 months ago

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.

What's the Cause?

This simply means that our membership widget isn't turned on, or is not working correctly with your theme.

How to fix this issue

Try the following things to resolve this issue:

  • Open your theme customizer for the theme you are testing on
    โ€‹

  • Open the App embeds section, and ensure the Membership Widget is enabled
    โ€‹

  • Save your theme, then try loading the product page again

Still not working?
