# Separate shipping cycles

Separate shipping cycles let you deliver products on a different schedule than your billing cycle. For example, you can sell a yearly subscription but ship the products every month. Your customer pays once, while your store automatically creates a new payment-free order at each shipping interval you set.

## Separate shipping cycle settings

**Shipping frequency** – How often you would like Easy subscriptions to create an order that can be used for shipping.

**Synchronise shipping frequency**
The **Synchronise shipping frequency** option lets you give every subscription to a product the same shipping cycle. When it is set to **Off**, your store uses the settings from the previous field. When it is turned **On**, those settings are overridden, and all subscriptions for this product follow one shared schedule.

**Example: yearly subscription with a monthly box**

1. Set the subscription period to **1 year**.
2. Set **Synchronise shipping frequency** to **First day of the year**.

Every subscriber’s cycle is then aligned to the same date, which makes fulfilment, packing, and inventory planning much easier.
