Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAcquire and retain subscribers in any market: the storefront widget and customer portal speak 28 European languages. Both blend into your theme and branding and neither you nor your customers need a separate login to manage subscriptions. When someone cancels, ask why and counter with pause or skip offers, then track save rates, churn and LTV. Failed payments retry on your schedule, then auto-skip, pause or cancel.
Recharge gives Shopify brands the tools to grow recurring revenue. Make subscribing the obvious choice at checkout and convert more first-time buyers. Give shoppers a portal to manage their own subscriptions, then save the ones who try to cancel with the right alternative. Recover declined cards automatically, before a failed payment becomes a lost customer. Win back the ones who lapse, and reward the ones who stay.
