Short answer: some supplement checkout pages include a pre-checked or easy-to-miss recurring-billing option, sometimes framed as an automatic discount — always scroll back through the full checkout page before submitting payment.
Why this pattern exists
Recurring "subscribe and save" options are common across e-commerce broadly, not unique to any one supplement category. They genuinely offer savings for people who want ongoing shipments, but the opt-in (or opt-out) mechanism isn't always presented clearly.
What to specifically look for
- Pre-checked boxes — checkout forms sometimes default to a subscription option that requires you to actively uncheck it
- "Save X% with auto-delivery" framing — read carefully whether this requires ongoing commitment
- Fine print near the payment button — subscription terms are sometimes placed in less prominent text near the final purchase button
If you only want a one-time purchase
Confirm the specific box or toggle for one-time purchase is selected (or that any subscription option is unchecked) before submitting your payment information. If uncertain, contact customer support before completing the order to confirm.
If you're already on a subscription you didn't intend
Check the order confirmation email for cancellation instructions, and reach out to customer support promptly — most subscription terms include a cancellation process, though the specific steps vary by seller.
Review the checkout page carefully
Confirm whether any subscription option is selected before completing your order.
