Some Shopify features create conflicts with the Recharge subscription widget, resulting in checkout and display errors. This guide lists common issues that conflict with the subscription widget and provide additional troubleshooting steps. 

Buy it now buttons

Buy it now buttons, also known as Shopify dynamic checkout buttons, are not supported on the Recharge Checkout on Shopify. When your customers try to use a Buy it now button, a Variant not found error appears, or they will be taken to the wrong checkout.

 See Using Shopify dynamic checkout buttons with Recharge for details on troubleshooting this conflict.

Quick View

In Shopify, a Quick View is the ability to open product details in a pop-up modal, instead of going to the detailed product page. It provides customers with fewer pages and clicks to reach the checkout. 

Offering subscriptions in Quick Views requires custom coding and is not supported by Recharge as per the design and integration policy. If you require further assistance, work with a third-party developer to implement the change. 

Product page displays two subscription widgets

Multiple subscription widgets may be caused by installing multiple subscription apps or Shopify theme settings.

Scenario 1 - Multiple subscription apps installed

After migrating to Recharge, the previous app’s code may still be present in your theme files. 

If you have recently migrated to Recharge from another subscription platform and suspect this is the case, contact your previous platform’s support team to request they remove the code.

Scenario 2 - Using a Shopify theme with a native subscription widget

Some Shopify 2.0 themes, like Broadcast, come with native subscription widgets pre-installed.

1. Turn off the native widget in Shopify’s theme settings to fix this conflict:
2. In the Shopify admin, click Online Store and select Themes.
3. Next to Current theme, click Customize.
4. Choose Products from the dropdown menu in the Theme Editor.
5. Click Product pages and uncheck the box next to Enable subscription selectors. 
6. Click Save.

Video conflicts

Shopify allows videos to be embedded in the product description. Generally, this does not cause widget conflicts, however, Wistia videos are incompatible with Recharge.

If you are using a Wistia video, the best way to resolve this conflict is to remove the video or switch to another video service.

If you would like to keep the Wistia video:

1. Remove the current embed code from the product description.
2. In Wistia, change the Wistia video setting to Fallback.
3. Copy the video’s new code and use the Fallback code for the embed.
