Monto Simple Subscriptions

How to integrate Monto Simple Subscriptions with Webflow

Monto Simple Subscriptions adds subscription functionality to your Webflow store, letting you offer fixed-term plans, trial periods, and customer self-service portals for managing subscriptions. This allows for recurring billing, enabling more predictable revenue streams.

You can integrate Monto Simple Subscriptions with Webflow through the Monto app for quick setup without coding, embed the script directly in your site settings for script management control, or build custom workflows using Webflow and Monto APIs when you need real-time CMS updates and external system connections.

Use the Monto Simple Subscriptions app

Install Monto Simple Subscriptions from the marketplace to add recurring billing without writing code. The app injects a header script that converts your existing Webflow products into subscription offerings.

Configure your subscription settings through the Monto dashboard where you control billing frequencies and customer portal options. Create your Monto account, then select your Webflow site during setup, and configure subscription parameters through the dashboard interface.

You can set up the following subscription features:

• Fixed-term subscriptions that end automatically after a set duration
• Reduced-price trial periods before regular pricing begins
• Mixed product checkout combining subscriptions with one-time purchases in single orders
• Multi-language customer portal with automatic translation based on browser settings
• Stripe customer portal integration for payment method management

The app manages subscription processing, renewal billing, and payment collection through Stripe. Customers access subscription controls through a self-service portal that handles pausing, resuming, and cancellation.

This method works when you need subscription functionality quickly without custom development. You maintain control through Webflow while Monto handles the subscription logic.

Embed the Monto script directly

Add subscription functionality by embedding the Monto script in your project settings under custom code in the head. This gives you the same capabilities as the marketplace app with direct control over script placement.

Copy the embed script from your Monto dashboard after creating your account and connecting your Webflow site. Paste the script in your site settings under Custom Code in the Head Code section. The script loads on every page and detects your Products collection automatically.

This approach works when you want to manage third-party scripts centrally or need to control script loading behavior. You get the same subscription features as the app installation method without going through the marketplace.

Build with Webflow and Monto APIs

Use the Webflow Data API when you need custom subscription workflows, real-time CMS updates, or integration with external systems. This method requires development work but gives you control over subscription behavior.

Track subscription status with webhooks

You can configure webhook endpoints to receive subscription events and update your Webflow CMS automatically. Contact Monto directly for access to their Partner API and webhook documentation, as these are not publicly available.

Webhook payloads typically include subscription ID, customer ID, plan ID, status, billing dates, and metadata fields. Use these to update Webflow CMS items through the Webflow Data API.

Sync subscription data to Webflow CMS

You can sync subscription data to Webflow CMS by updating Collections via the Data API. This allows you to create CMS collections for subscriptions, customers, and plans, then populate them with data from Monto webhooks.

The API requires Bearer token authentication with appropriate scopes for collection access.

Configure Webflow webhooks through Site settings → Integrations → Webhooks to receive ecomm_new_order and ecomm_order_changed events. These fire when customers place orders or order statuses change.

Webflow does not generate new orders when subscriptions renew automatically. You must rely on Monto webhooks to track renewals and update your records.

Build custom subscription workflows

You can create custom business logic by combining Webflow ecommerce webhooks with Monto subscription events. This lets you manage scenarios like subscription upgrades, prorated billing, or conditional content access based on subscription status.

The Webflow app subscriptions endpoint provides subscription data queries with app_subscriptions:read scope.

Validate webhook signatures using the method shown in the Webflow webhooks guide. Check the x-webflow-signature header against your webhook secret to verify authentic requests.

This approach requires server infrastructure, developer resources, and partnership with Monto for API access. Use this method when you need subscription logic that goes beyond standard billing cycles, such as usage-based billing triggers, custom trial period logic, or integration with external fulfillment systems.

What you can build

Integrating Monto Simple Subscriptions with Webflow enables recurring revenue businesses with subscription products and membership sites.

• Subscription box services: Create product pages with monthly or quarterly delivery options, trial pricing for first boxes, and customer portals where subscribers manage delivery schedules and cancel anytime
• Membership content sites: Build gated content areas where users subscribe for ongoing access, with fixed-term memberships that automatically expire after 6 or 12 months requiring manual renewal
• Software-as-a-service storefronts: Sell digital products with recurring licenses through standard Webflow product pages, combining subscription plans with one-time add-on purchases in single checkout flows
• Online course subscriptions: Offer educational content through recurring access plans with reduced-price trial periods, where course collections automatically appear based on active subscription status
