Skio.com: Subscriptions for Shopify + Group Discounts (Spotify Family meets D2C)

[kennandavison]

Hi all - I’m Kennan and I’m excited to share Skio (https://skio.com).

We help Shopify merchants sell subscriptions and give group discounts.

The best way to think of subscriptions + group discounts is like Spotify family, but for shopping online with friends. Customers are happy because they get consistently lower pricing (vs. 1-time store credits) and merchants are happy when customers bring in friends at no CAC.

In addition to group buying, Skio has other game-changers: * Free on subscriptions involving 1 person (instead of 1% cut) * Built-in SMS notifications at 0% markup * Passwordless login * Customers can set their next delivery date * Instant page loads * Skio No-Code Theme Editor (fully customizable colors, a/b tested layout)

Our subscription management is rendered on our homepage so feel free to check it out: https://skio.com

We charge $50/mo + 5% cut of group subscriptions where we get you a free customer. We also offer a 60 day free trial: https://skio.com/pricing

You can compare us to ReCharge here: https://skio.com/skio-vs-recharge

If you or anyone you know is on Shopify, would love to chat! We also have an automated ReCharge migration for those already up and running. I'm also here to answer questions for the curious.

Cheers,

-Kennan

Ok so I am in a family group for Amazon prime, netflix, spotify, and hulu. So is the idea like I just have to create a skio account and then that manages all the group subscriptions? And presumably I can get better deals through skio than if I get all the subscriptions independently.

Seems dependent on getting good brands onboard. But overall, if costs are lower for me, and it is more convenient, I think this could work. Great idea if you can execute!

Group subscriptions are on a site-wide basis (for now).

E.g. for 1 brand (on Shopify), you subscribe, log in, and share a special link with friends. Friends subscribe using your link and we apply a discount depending on the number of people in the group.

It's referrals 2.0 in many ways.
