Questions

Can a club end by itself after a set number of boxes?

Yes. Turn on Automatic expiry and set Orders before it ends. The first order counts, so 12 is the order at checkout plus 11 repeat orders.

Can every member's box ship on the same day?

Yes. Turn on Renew on specific dates and set the day of the month. It only affects new subscriptions.

Can subscribers choose their own kit?

No. A box you set up is the same for everyone on the option, and subscribers can skip a month. For a box shoppers build themselves, use a build your own box.
