We've recently migrated a large segment of stores to Product Subscription Plans. This means these stores are now eligible to access new features, including the new subscription widget

Additionally, Product Subscription Plans allows more flexibility with plan set-up:

• Different discount percentages for different frequencies
• Different frequency units for the same product (days, weeks, months)
• Channel settings - show different discounts on the widget vs. the customer portal
• Onetime plan discounts - give your existing subscribers discounts on onetime products added to their next order from the customer portal

How to know if your store has been upgraded:
If you now see all of your Shopify products listed and editable in the Recharge merchant portal, your store is on Product Subscription Plans. More details can be found here.

Recharge’s Cart and Cart Overlay are now available in Open Early Access to all Shopify stores.

This release allows you to enable cart upsells, cross-sells, and overlay experiences - bringing Recharge’s cart capabilities in line with other top cart providers. 

New features include a free shipping progress bar that can auto-complete when a subscription is in the cart, inline discount code entry with real-time pricing updates, and advanced cart settings with self-serve theme issue resolution. These enhancements reduce reliance on support and improve the buyer experience.

Smart select intelligently uses the first item in a customer's order to choose the best product to cross-sell - and is now available for your Post-purchase page.

With Smart Select, you can automatically display the right product to your customer with no manual setup required. 

Head to Cross-sells & Upsells > Post-purchase Cross-sell to set this up, and see our help doc for more information.

Checkout Upsell is now compatible with Recharge Bundles, including both Upsell All and Upsell Line Items.

Customers with one-time bundles at checkout can now convert to subscriptions easily - with the savings highlighted during the experience. 

For Dynamic Customizable Bundles, Upsell All is recommended, as these bundles consist of line items. To preserve bundle integrity, individual line item upsells are automatically disabled for these bundle contents.

To get started, head to Cross-sell & Upsell in your Recharge admin. Check out our help documentation for more details.

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.

Read more about this in our Help Documentation.

We've released a new feature that allows you to add a follow-on offer to your Post-Purchase Cross-sell. This means that after the first cross-sell has been accepted or declined, you can entice your customers with an additional offer.

Some strategies we recommend with this feature are:

- Offer the same product with a steeper discount

- Offer a different product that complements their initial purchase

- Offer the same product they checked out with (increasing the quantity)

- Offer a gift card to the store at a discount

You can also use our new analytics table to assess the impact, and we've added the ability to copy and paste node configurations to make setup faster. Learn more now by taking a look at our help doc.

You can now use Smart select to cross-sell products at checkout. This feature intelligently recommends additional products based on the items already in the customer's cart, minimizing your setup time and increasing the chances of successful conversion.

Smart select is now available for all merchants using Checkout Cross-sell and can be selected during the flow creation process - please see our help docs for more information.

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.

Merchants that use Checkout Upsell can now choose to Upsell all line items at once - and it's mobile-friendly 🎉 

This update:

• Greatly improves visibility for mobile traffic, as the app block can be placed at the top of the page
• Highlights the potential savings if converted of all line items, encouraging customers to make the move
• Reduces the number of clicks - just one to make all eligible items a subscription

Check out our documentation and see the GIF below to learn more.

We've added an A/B test node to our Post-purchase Cross-sell flow - allowing you to offer two different cross-sells incentives. See which cross-sell is more popular post-checkout, and use our Analytics to see which performs better. 

Experiment with A/B tests such as:

- Cross-selling a different product or variant
- Offering a different discount amount on the same product
- Testing the response to different subscription types (one-time or subscription)
- Offering free or paid shipping on the cross-sell

See our help documentation to learn more, and create your Post-purchase Cross-sell from the Grow menu. Available to Pro and custom plan merchants.
