Recharge Subscriptions App

Sept. 18, 2023

Very long term user here but opening up about the experience so you guys can see the glaring problems as business owners. When the app works, it’s not too shabby and allows customization of shipments(eg. 30 days, 60 days, 90 days etc) which helps a lot. However, the big elephant in the room is the poor software itself and this app is now very dated while the company has become very complacent about what they have to offer. Read below: The Recharge app is a hassle whenever you want to update your website. It breaks and suffers from compatibility issues. When we updated our website in 2021, the widget broke and since then we haven’t been able to have it integrated or work with our website. They also store all customer data on their side(which is why we were shy on pulling the plug on the app and had hoped that they would eventually have it working on our website) which means that you’re locked in with them unless you manually ask them for an export of the customers that are subscribed to your website through their widget. Additionally, the recharge app continues to charge your card even when the app is in a broken state which is what continued to happen during 2023 when they had to move to Shopify Checkout integration. Lastly, when it was brought up to their team that they were charging through this time and despite no services being rendered and failed integrations on out website, the team offered no refunds for this entire period of time. The contact from the company was more interested in nit picking what I had to say rather than trying to understand what I was saying, looking at the big picture, and helping constructively solve the problem. We are all in business and understand that customers shouldn’t be charged for something that is broken and not functional for the consumer or end user. There are much better apps with easier integration that I’d recommend. This one’s a convoluted mess and as business owners, we want to focus on sales and marketing rather than never-ending app integration issues. Suffice to say, at this point, Recharge isn’t a good app that we’d recommend to incorporate in your store.

Recharge has been a great subscription platform for our company. There have been some hiccups and issues pop up but our velocity account manager Ben Grunert has been there every step of the way to help us solve problems and reach our goals. This review is really 5 starts for Ben because his efforts and level of service are what have made our experience with Recharge positive. He is quick to answer any questions we have and always working hard to find solutions fo us anytime we bring something up with him. The app itself is good and fairly easy to use but it's Ben's commitment to supporting our company that have made using recharge a 5 star experience.

There have been lots of subscription apps popping up lately and Recharge definitely is on the pricier side. However, it is by far the most robust/enterprise level products out there and there continue to be product improvements. Their customer support is always knowledgeable as well. If you're a business that wants to scale your subscription offering and will likely need a software that's flexible enough to be customized to your needs, then Recharge is your best bet.

If I could give you all a zero I would. they are purposely screwing over small and medium business. I just had a meeting with them and they told me that they do not want to work with small businesses and they are doing that by charging prices for their membership that they know business owners can't afford. They told me that they would rather have our small business work with yotpo instead. What business in their right mind would purposely send customers to other businesses? They are shady and a greedy company. I do not see them being able to survive if they keep screwing over small business owners.

We made the switch to ReCharge a few years ago (away from Bold) and have been really happy. ReCharge is the obvious leader in subscription management on Shopify highlighted by the capabilities that are available to consumers and admins. The continued investment in feature development is what will keep us around until someone else in the space can prove that they've got a superior product. Only non-positive comment is that it's expensive. We believe that you get what you pay for, but we'll definitely give Shopify Subscriptions a hard look once they have a fully baked solution.

This review is for the fantastic support experience we had with Juan C. We had an urgent payment issue that was complicated but Juan immediately got to the root of the issue. Not only was the issue identified but he went above and beyond to fully explain all of it to us, making sure we understood and patiently explaining further if we didn't. He was extremely knowledgeable and had impeccable communication that made the resolution of a headache into an efficient and smooth experience. Juan’s exceptional clarity in every step of the resolution process ensured that we were never left in the dark. His dedication to answer all our questions, and answer them in a timely manner was beyond impressive. He is a testament to the gold standard of recharge support. Highly recommended!

The SMS feature wasn't working as expected. The 3-day notice to our customers (prior to shipment) wasn't going out. That's the most important text! Taylor P. was super helpful in getting the issue resolved. It did take a few weeks, but he maintained communication with me on a weekly basis do I knew the issue was still on his radar which gave me peace of mind. Taylor P was awesome! Thanks again for your diligence and attention to our issue. While I give the app 4 stars, I give Taylor P 5 stars!

Had an odd issue on my site that was blocking customers from being able to subscribe. Taylor (chat host) went above and beyond to help trouble shoot the issue. He was able to get it fixed! So happy with this app and their customer service!

Our launch engineer at Recharge, Jairus Streight, has been nothing short of fantastic. We've rolled out 6 region stores swiftly, thanks to his exceptional support. He's always ready to jump on a call and ensure each launch and migration goes smoothly. With no hiccups, and even an increase in conversion rate and revenue, we're thrilled with the service. Thinking of upgrading your subscriptions or future-proofing your store's growth? Go for Recharge's implementation team, and if you can, ask for Jairus!

Nikola from their support team has done an amazing job helping out with all questions, and the broader support team has been great as well. Recharge works seamlessly as a product and has every integration needed.
