Recharge lives up to the hype
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
For our main DTC ecommerce website, we use Recharge as our Shopify subscription plugin. We researched many other plugins before deciding on Recharge. We chose Recharge because they offered a wealth of resources (including Winbacks, Loyalty Program, and Cancelation Prevention) at a mid range cost compared to some of the other plugins. Since we've implemented, our customers have loved the easy to use UI, automation features (including reminders), and security.
Pros
- Provide easy subscription management with our customers
- Has great add-on tools such as their Loyalty Program and Cancelation Prevention Tools
- Their admin side is very easy to use (and get reporting on)
- Their customer service is top notch. Anytime we have a question or issue, we usually have it solved within the hour by their team!
Cons
- We would like to see a bit more design concepts with their product page widget
- It would also be nice if they had a "Points Program" rather than just a Loyalty Program that worked off of money back
- Very rarely their admin UI will hang, causing us to log out and try again.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are using Shopify and have plenty of ecommerce orders a month, Recharge is a no brainer when it comes to setting up and using a subscription service. We can't say enough about how well their team works and implements everything along the way. They also teach us common practice things to set up in the admin for customers to use, and help us with reporting and analysis to get better and grow.
