Turning off American Express on Shopify Payments affecting subscriptions

[edoram123]

Hi, 

I currently have Shopify Payments accepting American Express on my store. We use Recharge to take subscription payments with Shopify Payments as processor. 

I would like to switch off American Express to new customers -  2.7% fee vs Visa/MC 1.7% processing fee (we're based in UK). 

If I switch off American Express on payment settings, will it block my existing subscribers when they get charged for their subscriptions? I do not want to affect my existing subscribers who use Amex to pay for their subscriptions.

Thanks

Ed

I asked Shopify Support and apparently I'm good to switch this off. I will try and post here for anyone experiencing turning off payment options with subscriptions in future.
