- Recharge Checkout on BigCommerce
On the Shopify Checkout Integration, orders for both one-time and subscription products are processed through the Shopify Checkout.
Understand mixed carts
The Recharge definition of a mixed cart of goods is a collection of recurring items and non-recurring items. Recharge automatically recognizes the difference between recurring items and non-recurring items. Subscriptions are configured in Recharge and all your non-recurring items are configured in your ecommerce platform. Customers can then add recurring and non-recurring products to complete their purchase through the Recharge Checkout.
This process will work if you do not modify your checkout flow with custom code. If you do modify your code, make sure to run a test mixed cart order to ensure all app settings are working properly.
Refund mixed carts
All items are processed through the Recharge Checkout If a customer has a mixed cart. Any refunds for the order must be processed through Recharge as the transaction information does not exist on the ecommerce platform. For more information on processing refunds, see Issuing a refund in Recharge.
