What is Recharge?
Recharge Payments is a recurring billing and subscription platform for e-commerce merchants! Transform your one-time products into subscriptions and grow your recurring revenue with this integration.
Why Recharge + Tapcart?
Recharge payments can be used to easily launch and manage subscriptions from your mobile app. The customer will be able to see which products are subscription-based for purchase and which products they are subscribed to in order to manage them through the app.
The following features included with this integration are:
Connection to Shopify to eliminate the need to create separate accounts
Secure payments via Stripe, Braintree, Authorize.net
Mixed carts of both one-time and subscription products
Give customers auto-delivery and recurring payment options
Native in-app subscription management — skip, pause, reschedule, cancel, swap, and more
How to Connect Recharge + Tapcart?
The integration is available to all Tapcart customers who also have a Recharge subscription.
This integration requires two API tokens created in your Recharge dashboard: an Admin API token and a Storefront API token. Both are stored securely by Tapcart and are never sent to customer devices.
