Summary
Merchant Kane Shirley reported that the one-time purchase option had disappeared from all his products, forcing customers into subscriptions only. The AI bot Luna attempted to provide self-service steps but was unable to resolve the issue. Human agent Rick identified a configuration problem and fixed it on the backend for all products, also removing the 'Powered by Subi' branding as a goodwill gesture. The merchant was very happy with the outcome and left a positive review.

**[2026-05-05 04:39:23] bot/Luna**
> Hi Kane 👋 I’m Luna, your AI assistant here to help! If something’s off, a human teammate can jump in too.
> Answer: The one-time purchase option usually disappears when the product or plan is set to subscription-only.
> Steps to fix it:
> - Go to Shopify Admin → Products
> - Open the product
> - Scroll to Purchase options
> - Uncheck “Only sell this product as a subscription”
> - Save and refresh your storefront
> If it’s a plan setting:
> - Go to Subi → Plans
> - Open the plan
> - Set Purchase type to include one-time purchase
> - Save
> This should bring the option back on your product page.
