How do I set up subscription-only product discounts?

I'm running an e-commerce store and want to create exclusive discounts for my subscription customers to incentivize long-term commitment and recurring revenue. I'm looking for strategies to design subscription-specific pricing that makes my customers feel valued while also protecting my profit margins. How can I effectively set up discounts that are only accessible to subscribers, and what are the best practices for implementing these promotional strategies?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Subscription-only product discounts restrict offers to active subscribers by using Shopify customer tags set by your subscription app. Create Growth Suite campaigns targeting only the 'active-subscriber' tag, excluding all non-subscribers from the offer.

Subscription-Only Product Discounts

Subscriber-exclusive discounts reward subscription commitment while providing a tangible ongoing benefit that differentiates subscription from one-time purchase. They also give inactive subscribers a reason to maintain their subscription rather than canceling.
