Everyone on the same weeks

If you run a plan that bills every 2 or more weeks on a fixed weekday, you can now choose «The same weeks for everyone». Every subscriber then lands on the same weeks, so two sign-ups a week apart no longer end up on alternate Fridays.
Before, only the weekday was chosen. Two customers who signed up a week apart ended up on alternate Fridays, and a shop that wanted one packing day had to move each new subscriber by hand.
How it works
In the plan form, under «Select specific day», a new question asks «Which weeks should orders fall on?». The default is still each subscriber's own weeks, so nothing changes for an existing plan. Choose «The same weeks for everyone» and pick a «Starting on» day. The option shows only for plans every 2 or more weeks with a weekday set.
- The charge preview follows your weeks. It lists the real dates: the first order, then one order every plan interval from it, including the first order of a later sign-up.
- Checkout sign-ups are lined up. A new checkout sign-up on a shared-weeks plan gets charges and paid ship days only on those weeks.
- The reschedule warning names the weeks. When you move a date to an off-week day, the warning says the subscription bills on the shared weeks. You can still save the move.
One permission to grant
Aligning the shipping side uses Shopify's fulfilment-order permission, which Subi asks for only when you save a shared-weeks plan. If you decline, the plan is not saved and the form stays open. A saved plan without the permission shows a notice with a «Grant permission» button.
One thing to know
If the cutoff is 0, a sign-up on the plan's weekday in a week with no orders gets a first order shown as ready to ship that day, so you may need to hold it.
