Are you thinking for digital products like a PDF or purely for membership access?

When you create a billing attempt against a subscription, it creates a Shopify order that is tied to that subscription. You could definitely have the order be tied to a digital product.

While you could definitely make it work for a membership system, I think I'd recommend literally anything else. Happy to elaborate or answer any specific questions you might have.

What would you recommend for a membership system, thinking about this route since waiting for Shopify's subscription API's to mature but time isn't on my side on this.

If you're not already in the Shopify ecosystem, I'd look at Stripe Subscriptions with Checkout which requires a small amount of development that lives in something like a lambda or netlify function. - https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/checkout - https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/07/13/manage-subscriptions...

If you want something out of the box, there are tools like Memberful, Gumroad, etc that take quite a vig on top of the payment processing.
