Installation
Requirements
Development stores work without Protected Customer Data access — you can build and test your entire setup before requesting it.
- A Shopify store on any plan that supports the Subscriptions APIs (Basic Shopify and above).
- Permission to install apps on the store (store owner or staff with the Apps permission).
- If you plan to sell in a live store (not just a development store), Shopify’s Protected Customer Data access is required before customer-facing features (like the self-service portal) can serve real customer data. This is a Shopify-side approval Curobi requests on your behalf during setup.
1. Install the app
Open the listing
Curobi has been live on the Shopify App Store since 13 August 2026. Open the Curobi Subscriptions listing and click Add app to begin.
Click Install app
Then review the requested permissions.
Review permissions
Curobi asks for access to products, orders, customers, and subscription contracts — it needs these to create selling plans, mirror contracts into your dashboard, and let customers manage their own subscriptions. After an update, Curobi may ask you to approve new permissions — for example, the checkout check that enforces the Free and Starter subscription limits needs access to checkout validations.
Curobi never requests access to card details. Recurring charges run entirely on Shopify’s billing rails.
Finish install
Click Install. You’ll land in the Curobi admin, embedded inside your Shopify admin.
2. Choose a plan
You start on the Free plan — no card needed — which covers up to 50 active subscriptions with the widget, the core customer portal, the dashboard and branded emails. Curobi is also free on development stores.
Paid plans don’t have a trial. Instead, Free has a one-time 14-day trial of Starter’s tools, cohort analytics and Curated Boxes: open Plan & billing in Curobi and click Start 14-day trial when you’re ready to use it. It ends without a charge. When you outgrow Free, upgrade from the same page. See Pricing & Plans for what each plan includes.
