We're excited to introduce early access to Recharge Cart Drawer and Recharge Cart Overlay, two powerful features designed to enhance upsell opportunities and improve the shopping experience for merchants and customers alike.

Recharge Cart Overlay

The Cart Overlay allows customers to seamlessly upgrade a one-time purchase to a subscription before reaching the cart. This feature is designed to drive higher subscription adoption with minimal friction for customers.

Recharge Cart Drawer

The Cart Drawer is a fully Recharge-owned and managed cart experience. This feature will support upselling by enabling one-time purchases to be converted into subscriptions directly in the cart. 

Recharge's cart options are available for Shopify stores using a Shopify 2.0 theme. You can request enablement through this form.

Referrals are now available for all stores with Retain. Leverage word-of-mouth marketing to help scale your business and attract new customers. Use Recharge to build enticing referral programs, encouraging your current customers to share their favorite products with their favorite people. 

Set up classic "Give $X, Get $X" programs with two key differentiators:

1. Seamlessly Integrated with our Affinity customer portal– Subscribers can access and share their referral link directly within their subscription management. No extra logins, no messy embedding—just seamless sharing.

2. Leverage Recharge Credits – Advocate rewards are issued into the same credit balance, reinforcing retention strategies and driving long-term engagement.

The new Subscription Widget is now accessible to all Shopify merchants, bringing an improved subscription experience directly within Recharge. All stores now have access to the Subscription Widget along with base analytics to track performance.

If you were previously using our Subscription Widget, you may have noticed a major change—the settings for this feature are now located in Recharge instead of Shopify. This shift allows us to introduce more features in the future and provide deeper insights into your widget’s performance.

Pro and Custom stores gain additional benefits, including A/B testing for optimizing conversions and more detailed analytics for deeper insights.

For full details on this exciting new feature, check out the documentation here.

You can now reward customers with credits on one-time only checkouts. Give credits on one-time purchases to incentivize repeat buying, or make credits subscription-only to provide more motivation to convert to a subscriber.

With this new Rewards strategy, engage a broader range of customers, create a new funnel for subscription acquisition, and further consolidate your tech stack. Create a flow that triggers for all one-time only checkout orders, even if they don’t include a subscription. Additionally, customers who make one-time only checkouts (without ever having a subscription) are now created in Recharge along with their checkout order history! 

See Reward Strategies: How to offer Rewards on one-time purchases to all customers for more information along with step-by-step configuration instructions.

All BigCommerce merchants using our unified checkout integration (BCI) can now offer SEPA Direct Debit and iDEAL as payment method options to their customers.
