To add a subscription option to your existing Webflow e-commerce store without changing the current checkout setup, you can follow these steps:

Set up a third-party subscription management tool: Webflow currently does not have built-in subscription functionality. Therefore, you will need to integrate a third-party tool that can handle subscription management. There are several options available, including tools like Chargebee, Recurly, or MemberStack.
Sign up for an account with the chosen subscription management tool: Create an account with the chosen tool and follow their setup process. Each tool will have its own unique setup requirements and procedures.
Connect your Webflow store with the subscription management tool: Once you have set up your subscription management account, you will need to connect it with your Webflow store. Most subscription management tools provide integration options through APIs or plugins.
Configure the subscription options: Within the subscription management tool, you will be able to set up and configure the various subscription options you want to offer to your customers. This includes determining the pricing, intervals, trial periods, and other related settings.
Design and add subscription elements to your Webflow store: Use the Webflow Designer to create visually appealing and user-friendly subscription elements, such as sign-up buttons or subscription plan details. You can then add these elements to your existing e-commerce store pages.
Test the subscription functionality: Before going live with your subscription option, thoroughly test the functionality to ensure that everything is working as intended. Make sure customers can sign up for subscriptions, receive confirmation emails, and that their subscription details are being correctly stored within the subscription management tool.

By following these steps, you can integrate a subscription option into your existing Webflow e-commerce store without altering the current checkout setup. This allows you to offer recurring payment plans and create a more flexible purchasing experience for your customers.
