Starting on September 24th, 2025, we’ll begin rolling out improvements that ensure when a customer skips a future order, the skip is reliably honored. With these changes, customers’ future skips will remain in place even after most subscription updates (like product swaps), helping reduce confusion, prevent accidental charges, and minimize churn.

What’s changing?

• Historically, if a customer skipped a future order and their subscription was later updated (e.g., a product swap), the future skip would be removed.
• With this update, future skipped orders will now be retained when changes are made to a subscription, with the exception of updates to the subscription’s charge date, order frequency, or address assignment.
• When the next charge date or order frequency is changed, or when a subscription is moved to a different address, the future skips will be removed, as the desired skip behavior can vary by use case. When this happens, we will:
  1. Emit a new subscription/skip_invalidated webhook so you can take action if needed (e.g., re-skipping). (API documentation coming soon)
  2. Add a skip invalidated event to the customer timeline, including the original skip date.

Shoppers can now add products to their upcoming orders directly via Concierge SMS. This feature reacts to a shopper’s request, confirms product, variant, and frequency where needed, and adds the product to their order - all within a text conversation.

Concierge SMS respects existing customer portal rules, so product additions follow the same restrictions already in place - for example, only adding products from a specified collection.

A new "Product Add-ons" metric is now available on the SMS overview page, showing gross revenue generated from products added to existing orders, whether as one-time items or subscriptions.

Please refer to our help center documentation for more information about Concierge SMS.

Recharge now classifies when order errors are due to inventory issues, and reflect this in two new order errors.

Here's what our Product team was up to in August:

Subscriptions

• Shop Pay payment method updates: Shop Pay now supports direct editing of payment methods for subscriptions. Customers can now delete, add, and update an existing payment method on Shop Pay and Recharge will automatically sync any updates to payment methods via a webhook when the customer’s next order is attempted.
• New charge error ‘Payment method revoked’: Recharge now identifies when customers remove payment methods from existing subscriptions in Shop Pay.
• Customer tags condition in Revenue tools: Quickly filter or apply rules based on customer tag conditions pulled directly from Shopify.
• Dynamic Pricing enhancements: Workflow creation is no longer necessary to set up dynamic pricing.

Loyalty & churn tools

• Activity export for Win Backs: Export detailed activity for Win Backs making it easier to dig into customer-level actions, analyze performance, and debug customer complaints.
• Fallback offers for Cancellation Prevention: Fallback offers for Cancellation prevention is now available for all stores, allowing you to set a second offer to be shown if a customer declines the first one during cancellation.

SMS, email & notifications

• ‘Ship now’ on Concierge SMS: Concierge SMS can now respond conversationally to “Ship now” or “Process today” requests from customers. Instead of delaying charges to the next day, we immediately confirm and process the order.

Concierge SMS can now respond conversationally to “Ship now” or “Process today” requests from customers. Instead of delaying charges to the next day, we immediately confirm and process the order.

This makes the experience clearer and more effective for customers, while giving merchants a better way to handle urgent shipping requests.

Refer to our help center documentation for more information about Concierge SMS.

• Check which customers successfully reactivated
• See which incentive was applied (e.g., % discount) and which products were reactivated
• Identify which email/offer drove the reactivation
• Troubleshoot customer complaints (e.g., “I didn’t receive this offer”)

Fallback offers for Cancellation prevention is now available for all stores, allowing you to set a second offer to be shown if a customer declines the first one during cancellation.

A fallback offer is a second retention attempt shown to customers who choose to cancel after rejecting the first offer. This provides a safety net, if your primary incentive doesn’t land, you still have another chance to prevent the customer from cancelling their subscription. 

Refer to Offer types in the Cancellation prevention documentation for more information. 

Recharge now identifies when customers remove payment methods from existing subscriptions in Shop Pay, with the charge error "Payment Method Revoked."

Shop Pay now supports direct editing of payment methods for subscriptions. Customers can now delete, add, and update an existing payment method on Shop Pay. Recharge will automatically sync any updates to payment methods via a webhook when the customer’s next order is attempted.

Shop Pay is a payment service offered by Shopify that allows customers to securely save their shipping and payment information for quicker checkouts. A payment method saved in Shop Pay is available for use by a customer across all Shopify stores that have enabled Shop Pay. 

These updates to Shop Pay create a smoother and more reliable subscription experience for both merchants and customers. Customers now have more flexibility to manage their payment methods directly within Shop Pay, which reduces friction and helps prevent subscription interruptions caused by outdated or invalid payment details.

Recharge Revenue Tools now supports customer tag conditions directly from Shopify allowing you to quickly filter a flow using Shopify customer tags.

• Filter flows based on tags that exist on a customer’s Shopify record, even if they originate from other apps or processes Recharge doesn't control.
• This makes it easier to align flows with existing workflows in Shopify, improving accuracy and reducing setup overhead.
• Available in all flow types where customer-level logic already applies, including Rewards, Referrals, Cancellation Prevention, and more.

Refer to Understanding the Conditional Branch node when building flows and Understanding the Trigger node when building flows for more details.
