There are many different ways to set up recurring payments on Shopify, and the best method for you will depend on your specific needs. If you’re selling physical goods, you’ll need to choose a payment gateway that supports recurring billing. For digital products, you can use either a subscription app or a payment gateway that supports recurring billing.

If you’re using a physical product, you’ll need to choose a payment gateway that supports recurring billing. The most popular payment gateways that support recurring billing are Stripe and Braintree. To set up recurring billing with either of these gateways, you’ll need to add a code snippet to your theme.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to set up a recurring payment on Shopify, please be aware that there are some important things to consider before doing so.

First and foremost, it is important to make sure that your customer’s credit card information is entered correctly and that the billing address associated with the card is up-to-date. If you are using Shopify’s automatic billing feature, the customer’s credit card will be charged automatically on the scheduled date. If the card information is incorrect or the billing address is not up-to-date, the customer’s card may be declined and the transaction will fail.

In addition, please keep in mind that Shopify’s recurring payments are processed through Stripe. As such, it is important to familiarize yourself with Stripe’s Terms of Service before setting up your recurring payments. Failure to comply with Stripe’s Terms of Service could result in your account being suspended or terminated.

Finally, please note that Shopify does not currently support recurring payments for digital products. If you plan to sell digital products on your Shopify store, you will need to use a third-party solution to process these payments.

If you’re selling digital products, you have two options for setting up recurring payments: using a subscription app or using a payment gateway that supports recurring billing. The most popular subscription apps are Recurly and Chargify. Both of these apps will generate the code snippet that you need to add to your theme.
