Issue

A "Variant can only be purchased with selling plan" error appears when adding a product that should be configured for subscription to the cart. 

Environment

Before you start

The widget loads last on the page. If it doesn't completely load and a customer tries to add a subscription, it can cause the "Variant can only be purchased with a selling plan" error.

If you notice slow load times, refer to The Recharge Widget loads slowly on my product page to troubleshoot that first.

Resolution

This error can occur when there are multiple product forms on a page and the subscription widget is not injected into the correct form. This can be fixed by injecting a line of code into the correct form.

Look for the product form in your Shopify Theme's product template file (ex: product.liquid or main-product.liquid) and inject the following code snippet to render the widget:

<div class="rc-widget-injection-parent" style="display: initial;"></div>

Place the code snippet in the form, either directly below:

<form id="add-item-form" action="/cart/add" method="post" data-productid="{{product.id}}">

Or below:

{% form 'product', product, data-productid: product.id, class: productClasses %}

This solution specifies the correct product form on the product page and resolves the error.
