Overview
Recharge is a subscription-commerce platform, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Santa Monica, that powers recurring billing and subscription management for Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants. It provides no-code customer portals, subscription bundling, tiered discounts, churn-reduction tooling, analytics, and a REST API with webhooks. The company states it serves over 20,000 merchant businesses, and it does not store card data directly, instead using a PCI-compliant card vault.
Our verdict
Recharge is a mature, Shopify-centric subscription-commerce platform best suited to DTC and subscription-box brands that need recurring billing, customer self-service portals, and churn-reduction tooling rather than a general-purpose WMS. Its security posture is well-documented (SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, GDPR/CCPA on an official trust center), and a published REST API with webhooks supports integration into a broader fulfillment stack. The tradeoff is cost and scope: pricing combines a monthly fee with per-transaction fees, and the product is tightly oriented to Shopify.
Strengths
- Strong, officially documented compliance (SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, GDPR/CCPA) on a public trust center
- REST API with webhooks plus deep Shopify and Klaviyo integration
- Subscriber self-service portal, bundling, and dedicated retention tooling
- Generous 60-day free trial on the Starter plan
Watch-outs
- Per-transaction fees on top of monthly cost can get expensive at scale
- Tightly coupled to Shopify and Shopify Plus, not a general fulfillment platform
- No published contractual uptime SLA
