Shopify Markets Support - Early Adopter Program

We now support Shopify Markets pricing and availability in almost every aspect of Recharge! Once merchants have set up their Markets in Shopify, they can enable support in Recharge. 



Background:
Shopify Markets gives merchants more control over product pricing and availability across regions (individual countries or a grouping of countries). With Markets, merchants can:
  • Set fixed prices by market. For example, a USD 10 product can be set to EUR 8.95 in France instead of a dynamically converted EUR 8.67. Currently, Recharge shows only the dynamic rate.
  • Apply manual exchange rates to stabilize pricing in volatile currency environments.
  • Adjust prices by market (increase or decrease by percentage) to offset costs like shipping and duties. For example, adding 20% in a market allows merchants to advertise an “all-inclusive” cost.
  • Use rounding rules (for example, round to the nearest 100 Yen in Japan).
  • Control availability by excluding products from certain regions for compliance, regulatory, or cost reasons.
  • Set sales tax rules, deciding where to collect taxes and how they are shown at checkout (included in price or added).
Why it matters:
Supporting Shopify Markets closes a major gap between merchant setup in Shopify and what customers see in Recharge. It ensures pricing, rounding, and availability stay consistent across both platforms. Historically, Recharge has supported Markets in checkout (courtesy of Shopify) and in a few other places, like our subscription and bundles widgets, and recently, the cart. However, outside of that, we only supported dynamic exchange rates in the merchant and customer portal for product add/swap scenarios. This left significant gaps in our product offering. Specifically,
  • Pricing mismatches between storefront (which respects Market settings) and the customer portal have led to churn. For example, when existing subscribers went to the customer portal to add/swap products, they felt that merchants were charging them more than new customers because the price in the customer portal would be higher than the price in the storefront.
  • Multiple stores workaround: Many merchants ran separate stores per region to avoid these issues, when they preferred one store for efficiency. Recharge was the blocker.
  • Middleware hacks: Single-store merchants had to rely on brittle integrations to update Recharge pricing after add/swap actions.
  • As our product surface expanded (bundles, checkout offers, post-purchase offers, cancellation prevention, winbacks, automate, cross-sell), pricing gaps were amplified.
  • We also lacked native support for product availability by Market
What’s New:
We now support Market pricing and availability in almost every aspect of Recharge! Once merchants have set up their Markets in Shopify, they can enable support in Recharge. This will result in market prices and availability resolved in areas like:
  • Affinity and Unity add/swap (Affinity add video attached)
  • Merchant Portal
  • Win backs
  • Cancellation Prevention
  • Automate
  • Bundles
  • Gift subscriptions
  • Rewards
  • Reactivations
  • Subscription widget
  • Cart/Checkout/Post-purchase upsell and cross-sell
As a general rule, merchants can override product availability in Recharge whereas customers cannot (video attached).

Upcoming Improvement to Future Skip Behavior

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.

Add Product now available in Concierge SMS

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.

New Inventory Order Errors - "unexpected_inventory_level" and "inventory_allocations_not_found"

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



Recharge checks product inventory before processing orders. Availability can also depend on merchant settings like Shopify shipping rules and Recharge order processing settings. Shopify recently removed a legacy option that let merchants “sell from all locations.” This change required merchants to have valid shipping profiles for inventory locations. Since many of our merchants didn't we saw a spike in “Payment Failure - Unknown errors”, which were originally hard to diagnose. As a fix, Shopify applied a betaflag so “Allow Overselling” now bypasses the shipping profile requirements. Merchants without shipping profiles and without “Allow Overselling” enabled will still see errors.

To help merchants navigate this change, we introduced two new order errors: UNEXPECTED_INVENTORY_LEVEL and INVENTORY_ALLOCATIONS_NOT_FOUND. Merchants can now use these errors and our updated support docs to both identify and fix impacted orders. These inventory errors will automatically retry the next day, making it easy for merchants to reprocess failed orders after they fix their inventory settings.

August Product Updates

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.

Update to Concierge SMS - Ship Now

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.

Activity Export for Win Backs is now Available

You can now export detailed activity for Win Backs — making it easier to dig into customer-level actions, analyze performance, and even debug customer complaints.


The Win Backs dashboard already shows high-level performance, but with the new export you can trace customer actions across the flow like:
  • 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”)
You can generate this export directly from the Activity tab of the Win Backs dashboard.

Fallback offers for Cancellation prevention now in GR

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.

New Charge Error- "Payment Method Revoked"

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



Shopify allows customers to remove payment methods from existing subscriptions in Shop Pay, either by removing the payment method from a subscription or deleting it from their Shop Pay account entirely.

When this happens, the payment method is revoked in Recharge. A payment method can now also be revoked when it expires, which has recently led to a noticeable rise in charge errors.

Recharge has introduced a new charge error: PAYMENT_METHOD_REVOKED to identify these cases and handle them appropriately. Moving forward, charges with this error type will enter either FPR or our Basic Recovery Strategy so that customers can get notified to re-enter their payment information in Shop Pay.

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. 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.
