Unreliable software.
Recharge used to work well for our store without issue, but recently we've had nothing but software bugs and hassles where our customers are charged shipping when it should be free.
You should look for a more reliable subscription management option.

I would not use this app. They push updates and create really critical bugs that create extremely negative experiences and then don't take accountability for it. I've had this app for 3 years and have had a number of issues. Most recently they pushed an updated and grabbed the wrong shipping profile information, accidentally charging almost 800 customers shipping on a free shipping product. Then told me it wasn't them and they weren't responsible for it/took no accountability. I had to figure out a solution to manually credit every single order and there is still not a fix. We cannot wait to change companies to one that is more reliable.
I am sorry for the stress and extra work this has caused. We should have taken ownership of helping you fix this quickly, regardless of where the charge was captured. We also should have offered practical paths to resolve hundreds of orders at once rather than pointing you back and forth. I am sorry we did not do that from the start and am ensuring that the lesson is learned.
To rectify this situation, Joel Pednaud (Director of Services) has already reached out to you, both to assist but also to get your unique perspective outside of the ticket itself.
What we have seen on our side for your current state:
• Your shipping in Recharge is configured to pull rates dynamically from Shopify when charges are created
• Shopify did not return a shipping rate for those orders
• Because no fallback rate was set, a previously saved Shopify rate was applied
To resolve this, we can:
• Provide a clean export listing every affected order and refund amount
• Help facilitate bulk credits or gift cards if refunds aren’t possible through your gateway
• Have a specialist guide you through the process until all customers are made whole
You have been a customer for years and we are grateful for your patience as we work through this together. One of our team members has followed up with you to discuss the next steps in making this right.

It was a great experience, the support is attentive, quick to respond, did a great job helping us set up the store, and were great about helping us navigate our slightly more complicated migration than it would have been for a new store. Patient, understanding and valuable help.
Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. I’m glad our team was patient, responsive, and able to guide you through your setup. We really appreciate you sharing your experience.

Complete thiefs when you try to cancel your account. They don't respond via emails in a timely manner. Support is non existent. Lost out of months of orders due to their lack of assistance. Choose anyone but them. There are better subscription sites out there
I’m very sorry for the experience you’ve had, and I understand your frustration. Our team will reach out to review what happened and see how we can address this directly. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

10.1.25 Updated review. Recharge has reached out to us and is attempting to rectify the matter. We will update again once our concerns are resolved. Thank you.
Unfortunately, the unexpected fees of $100 per month were not disclosed initially and were automatically charged after the first few months. We would have stayed with the app if they had support and answered our messages when the app was not working. However, there is no live support, no chat and no phone access to speak with someone. They also had a glitch where customers were not charged shipping despite our shipping rates defined. We are happy that the customer is happy but unfortunately, this is not sustainable for a small business like ours to always provide free shipping.
I am sorry to hear this has been your experience. I understand how frustrating that must feel, especially as a new business. We would like the chance to review what happened and make it right. Our team will reach out to learn more and help resolve your concerns.

We’ve had a great experience using Recharge as our subscription platform over the last few years. It’s easy to use and provides everything we’ve needed to scale our subscription program. The support team is excellent, especially our implementation manager, Hoa, who was incredibly helpful in testing out the Retain feature to determine if it would be a good fit for our team. Highly recommend!
This is such thoughtful feedback. I am thrilled to hear Recharge has helped your subscription program grow and that Hoa provided such great partnership in testing Retain. We are grateful for your continued trust.

The support is really good! And the analytics tools provide you with every information you neeed to make good decisions. It also offers an API for implementation in webshops with headless technology like we have.
Thank you for this thoughtful review. I am glad the support team has been helpful and that the tools and integrations have made it easier for you to make informed decisions.

A fantastic app that we use daily! It's optimized our bundling experience for our team and clients. Customer service is always helpful and quick to help us with any question or concern we have from small bugs with shopify or if we want to add more options!
Thanks for your thoughtful review. It’s great to hear Recharge has streamlined your bundling process and that our support team continues to be quick and helpful.

Recharge has been getting a bit better over the years we've been using it, especially their support. Some things are still launched half-baked, in my opinion, such as their gifting feature. Considering how much we pay them with their 1% charge on every dollar on top of Shopify's processing fees, it's just ok. We'd be much happier if they cut their pricing way down, but I wouldn't expect such as large company to do that. We will definitely look forward to building out our own replacement for Recharge in our tech stack as soon as Shopify gets their act together. Recharge's cost is just not economical at any scale.
I hear your concerns and appreciate the honest feedback. We are always reviewing our pricing and service structure and your perspective is helpful in that process. I am sorry the experience has not matched your expectations.
