About this Product
The Subscription & Recurring Payments Gateway is a build-to-order Shopify app that gives subscription and membership brands reliable recurring billing without forcing your shoppers off-platform. ECOSIRE builds it against your store, installs it, and supports it — this is not an instant App Store download.
The app is built on Shopify's Subscriptions APIs and selling plans, registered through OAuth as a custom app with only the scopes it needs (read/write_customer_payment_methods, read/write_own_subscription_contracts, orders, and customers). Recurring charges run against tokenized payment methods — card vaults and supported local wallets — so raw PAN data never touches your store and PCI scope stays minimal. Billing cycles are driven by flexible selling-plan intervals (weekly, monthly, custom anchor dates, prepaid vs. pay-as-you-go).
When a renewal fails, the built-in dunning engine runs configurable retry schedules, smart retry windows, and customer email prompts before a contract is paused — recovering revenue you would otherwise lose to expired cards. Customers manage everything from a self-serve portal embedded in your theme: skip, swap, pause, change frequency, or update their payment method, all writing back via the Admin GraphQL API and reflected in customer metafields.
Renewal events, payment status, and contract changes are synchronized through Shopify webhooks (subscription_contracts/update, subscription_billing_attempts/*), and a Churn/MRR analytics view surfaces active MRR, churn rate, retry recovery, and cohort retention. ECOSIRE delivers the app, connects it to your gateway tokens, configures dunning to your policy, and provides ongoing support and updates. Pricing is a one-time build fee; gateway and Shopify transaction fees remain yours.

Who this is for
Subscription box founder
Runs a recurring product box and needs dependable monthly billing, low involuntary churn from failed cards, and a portal so customers self-manage instead of emailing support.
Membership and digital-access brand
Sells paid memberships or content access and needs flexible billing intervals, prepaid plans, and clean MRR/churn visibility to track subscriber health.
Regional merchant using local wallets
Sells in markets where shoppers pay via local wallets, not just cards, and needs tokenized recurring charges across multiple gateways rather than a single card-only solution.

Frequently Asked Questions about Subscription & Recurring Payments Gateway
Is this an instant App Store download?
No. This is a build-to-order app. ECOSIRE builds it against your specific store, gateway tokens, and billing policy, then installs it for you as a custom app via OAuth. You are not downloading a generic listing — you receive a configured, working subscription system.
How long does delivery take?
A standard build is typically delivered in about one working week after kickoff, depending on how many gateways and local wallets you use and how custom your dunning rules and portal styling are. We confirm a firm timeline during scoping before any work begins.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
Every build includes a post-launch support window for fixes and questions. Beyond that, we offer an optional maintenance plan covering Shopify API version upgrades, gateway changes, dunning tuning, and new features. Because it is your custom app, updates are applied directly to your install.
Does this keep my store PCI-compliant?
Yes. The app only ever handles payment-method tokens issued by your gateway's vault — raw card numbers never pass through your store or our code. Recurring charges run against those tokens, which keeps your PCI scope minimal versus handling card data directly.
Which gateways and payment methods are supported for recurring billing?
It supports tokenized recurring charges across cards and the local wallets your gateway exposes for stored payment methods. During scoping we confirm your specific providers; multi-gateway token support means renewals can run against more than one vault if you operate across regions.
