Drop the stacked subscription tax.
Recharge is a powerful Shopify subscriptions layer. Checkivo replaces the fee stack with your own Stripe checkout — 0% Shopify platform fee, local European payments, and the same recurring engine for Subscribe & Save, rentals and memberships.

Own the checkout
One page on Stripe — trust, upsells and local methods in your flow.
Same Shopify store. A different fee stack — and a checkout you actually own.
Honest fit
Not every merchant should switch. Here’s the clean split.
Choose them if
- You want the deepest Shopify-native subscription CRM and are fine paying a % on every order inside Shopify Checkout.
- Your brand is US/UK-first on Shopify Payments and doesn’t need iDEAL, Bancontact or SEPA as the primary recurring path.
Choose Checkivo if
- You want one recurring stack for Subscribe & Save plus rentals, try-before-you-buy or memberships — without a second app tax.
- You sell in Europe and need local methods on the same checkout — with 0% Shopify platform fee.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does switching mean leaving Shopify?
No. Keep Shopify for your storefront, catalog and ops. Checkivo runs the checkout and recurring billing on Stripe.
Will I still pay Stripe processing?
Yes — processing is always there. What you drop is the Shopify platform fee and the subscription-app revenue cut on Checkivo checkouts.
How fast can we go live?
Most merchants install the Shopify app, connect Stripe, and launch a Checkivo checkout in days — not a quarter-long replatform.
