5 Reasons why Shop2App proved so powerful for a subscription-heavy brand like Bully Max

Pet owners are sticky with their pet food choice. Some owners don’t change their pet food for years. Subscriptions make the most sense for pet food businesses.

Here’s how subscription-friendly mobile app did wonders for Bully Max:

1. Cutting support tickets with a self-serving subscriber portal

Bully Max’s portal was highly intuitive. It made managing subscriptions a charm.With the portal, Bully Max’s subscribers could:

👉 1-Click Skip, Pause, Delay, Reschedule, Merge, Cancel Subscriptions 
👉 1-Click Swap Products, Update Address, Change Frequency, Add Discounts 

Result
🎯 Reduced support tickets and happy subscribers!

2. 1-click adding of products to upcoming subscription order

Many times pet owners need to add something special for their pet to an upcoming auto-ship order.

We enabled this push notification flow for Bully Max’s subscribers to increase cart AOV.

Push Notifications + Deep Links = Reduced Friction

These flows have been set up on email for Bully Max’s subscribers using Klaviyo. All our team had to do was enable them as push notifications for the app.

Tapping on the push notification directly opens Add to Order Screen.

3. Swapping products in seconds when puppy became a doggo

Puppies don’t remain a puppy for long. Dog’s grow up fast and their nutrition needs change even faster.


To update an ongoing subscription might feel like a task, but we made sure that Bully Max’s app users could swap their product in seconds using a quick notification.

4. Reducing subscriber churn with smart cancellation flows

It hurts when a subscriber cancels their order. What hurts even more is not knowing why.

A great cancellation flow helps you reduce churn by asking your subscribers why they’re canceling.It also suggests alternative options like Changing Shipment Date in case they have too much quantity and want to delay an upcoming order.

5. Increasing subscribers with high conversion subscription widget

We replicated Bully Max’s subscription widget from their webstore to the app. It was crisp and detailed.

The subscription widget had a discount to nudge customers to subscriber, moreover the checkout cart also showed the delivery frequency - say every 40 days.

6. Superfast conversions with 1-Click ShopPay Checkout

Pet owners could use Shop Pay’s 1-Click Checkout for all their one-time purchases and subscriptions.

This was made possible with Shop2App’s deep integration with Native Recharge Checkout.

Bonus Feature: 
Bully Max Quiz

Shop2app customized a Shop Quiz on Bully Max’s app that recommended app users a specific pet food. 

Owners could subscribe to the recommended product it in seconds.

Moreover the details fed in by the user got updated in Klaviyo, and could be used later to send them highly personalized notifications.
