In a Subscription club, members choose their wines when they join, and WithWine charges them automatically on their schedule. On screen, this selection method is called Wines selected by customer at signup - System initiated. Subscription clubs are also called standing order or recurring order clubs. See What are the different club types?.

How Subscription clubs are priced
Subscription clubs don't have a Pricing method. Members pay the price of the wines they've chosen, less their member discount and any other discount they're entitled to.
Step 2: Choose the wines members can pick
After you save, open the club again. The Products available for selection section appears. Select Change Selection to choose the wines and mixed packs members can choose from. See How to choose which wines Subscription club members can pick.
Step 3: Optional discount tiers
After you save, you can also reward members who buy more with discount tiers. See How to set up club discount tiers.
Why we recommend one selection
Allow different selections for each charge interval lets members choose different wines for each of their packs in advance, for example pack A, pack B and pack C. WithWine recommends leaving this off: making several selections slows down joining a lot, and a single selection makes signing up quicker and easier.
Why there's no joining fee option
Charge on Signup isn't available for Subscription clubs. A Subscription club already has an automatic charge date from the day the member joins, so there's no need for it.
