ApproveThis manages your Subamplify Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and Subamplify?

Subamplify gives businesses the tools to manage subscription-based ecommerce, but complex approval processes can slow down operations. ApproveThis adds a layer of decision-making automation that keeps revenue flowing while maintaining oversight. Together, they create a closed-loop system where subscriptions trigger approvals, and approvals activate business processes - all without manual intervention.

How This Integration Works

Through Zapier, Subamplify sends real-time data to ApproveThis when specific events occur - like a new high-value subscription or gift order. ApproveThis then routes these requests to the right people using customizable workflows. Approvers don't need Subamplify logins, making this ideal for involving external partners or executives who shouldn't have direct access to your ecommerce platform.

Key Automation Scenarios

1. Large Order Verification

When Subamplify records a completed shop order over $5,000, ApproveThis can:

• Route to finance for credit check
• Require warehouse manager confirmation of stock availability

Example: A gourmet food company uses this to prevent fraud on bulk orders while letting standard subscriptions ship automatically.

2. Gift Subscription Compliance

Gift subscriptions often have legal or tax implications. The integration ensures:

• Legal team review for cross-border gifts
• Marketing approval for custom messaging

Example: A wine club requires state-specific alcohol shipping approvals before processing gift memberships.

3. High-Value Recurring Contracts

For enterprise B2B subscriptions, ApproveThis adds:

• CEO approval for discounts over 20%
• Automatic Salesforce contract generation upon approval

Example: A SaaS company automates upselling while ensuring board-mandated deal oversight.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Connect via Zapier

Create a Zapier account and connect both ApproveThis and Subamplify. Choose triggers like "New Recurring Subscription" in Subamplify, then select "Create Request" in ApproveThis as the action.

Step 2: Configure Approval Rules

In ApproveThis, set thresholds matching your risk profile - e.g., auto-approve subscriptions under $500/month, but require CFO sign-off above $5,000. Use calculated fields to factor in customer lifetime value from Subamplify data.

Step 3: Test Cross-Platform Flows

Simulate a $10,000 annual subscription in Subamplify. Verify that ApproveThis routes to the correct approvers and that approval/denial actions update both systems appropriately.

Team-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Configure approval thresholds to match delegated authority levels. If a sales rep offers a 25% discount on a 3-year subscription, ApproveThis automatically escalates to the VP of Finance based on total contract value calculations.

Operations Teams

Use vacation delegation to prevent shipping delays. When your fulfillment manager is out, ApproveThis temporarily reassigns their approvals to a backup without needing Subamplify access changes.

Customer Success Teams

Approval tracking provides auditable records for compliance. If a client disputes a subscription renewal, show them the chain of approval from both systems in seconds.

Advanced Configuration Tips

Dynamic Approval Paths

Set conditional rules where:

• US-based gift subscriptions go to marketing
• EU-based gifts route through legal

ApproveThis can pull customer location data from Subamplify to automate this routing.

Real-Time Analytics

Combine ApproveThis' dashboard with Subamplify reports to see:

• Average approval time per subscription tier
• Approval bottleneck analysis

Getting Started

To implement these workflows:

1. Start a 14-day ApproveThis trial
2. Connect your Subamplify account via Zapier
3. Clone pre-built templates for common subscription approval scenarios

Final Recommendations

Begin with low-risk subscriptions to test the integration. Once confident, apply approval rules to high-value transactions. Use ApproveThis' email-based approvals to minimize disruption for occasional approvers.
