The ability to subscribe to series was by far the number one issue brought up during the first week of the FOC beta. So we put a rush order on them! You can now subscribe to your favorite series and get every issue on FOC from said series with the push of a button!
How to Subscribe:
You can subscribe to a series simply by clicking the sub button on a product associated with said series. A confirmation message will appear upon you successfully subbing to the series.
The same button will say Unsub if you are already subbed to the series like so:
If you had just subbed/unsubbed on accident or something like that, you will need to refresh the page for the button to be refreshed with the appropriate action.
As aforementioned, this feature got put on a sort of rush order. For now, going to a product page associated with said series is the only way to sub or unsub to a series. We are already considering and planning further quality of life options for handling subscriptions in the future.
How to Get Your Sub Books:
From the cart you can press the Grab Subscription button to get books that are available on FOC from the series you are subscribed to.
This will grab one copy of every FOC product listed as part of your subbed series for the given FOC week!
You can do this with other items already in your cart too. If an FOC book that is part of your subbed series is already in your cart, it will not grab it again or grab another copy of it either.
If there are no items available to add from your subscribed series, there will be a message letting you know as such.
About Series Names
Please remember this is still a very early beta and getting the naming conventions for the enormous variety of comic series in existence is going to be a long and grueling process for us. Series names are very subject to change for the foreseeable future as we work at cleaning them up to be more legible and proper.
We will try to keep your series list up-to-date with any changes in naming conventions but that may fall through the cracks. So, at least for this closed beta period, we do encourage users to double check behind us and of course please feel free to let us know if mix-ups/problems occur.
Feedback is appreciated!
Feedback is immensely helpful in guiding us towards what to work on and prioritize while moving forward.
If you're part of the closed beta then you're likely in the discord channel for testers and we would love to hear feedback on this system or anything else you'd like to give feedback on for that matter!
We hope you find this initial foundation of the subscription service at least somewhat helpful and look forward to continuing to improve upon it and the rest of the FOC ordering service in future updates.
