You may want to offer a specific shipping rate for subscribers that is different from the rates available for your one-time products.
This guide explains how to configure your shipping settings to offer subscription-specific rates.
- Recharge Checkout on Shopify
- Recharge Checkout on BigCommerce
- Shopify Checkout Integration
Before you start
The setup used to configure subscription-specific shipping rates depends on your store's platform. Review the platform-specific steps below:
Recharge Checkout on Shopify
One-time purchases are processed through your Shopify checkout and use Shopify's shipping settings. The most straightforward way to configure subscription-specific rates is to use Recharge Zones and Rates to create shipping rules for all subscription checkouts and recurring orders.
You may also use Shopify Shipping Profiles for the Recharge Checkout on Shopify and create a profile for auto-renew products. Once the profile is created, set your Shipping rate product type setting to Duplicate product.
Recharge Checkout on BigCommerce
One-time purchases are processed through BigCommerce and use BigCommerce's shipping settings. Rates must be configured on Recharge using Recharge Zones and Rates to create shipping rules for all subscription checkouts and recurring orders.
Shopify Checkout Integration
Shopify shipping profiles can be used to create a subscription-specific profile on your Shopify settings and connect it with Recharge.
