## Introducing the Shopify Subscriptions Reference app 

We just launched the[ Shopify Subscriptions Reference app](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/purchase-options/subscriptions/subscriptions-app), the source code from the Shopify Subscriptions app, which serves as a starting point or example app for merchants and partners looking to build subscription applications. 

The reference app can help accelerate app development, provides insight into the Selling Plan APIs and highlights Shopify’s best practices in app development. 

Learn more about the Shopify Subscriptions Reference app [here](https://github.com/Shopify/subscriptions-reference-app).
