Subscriptions Powered by Stripe

[PaulVomberg]

The subscription API product roadmap notes Stripe was launched January 2022. A few questions come to mind: 

1. Is Stripe only available to connect to so merchants can migrate subscriptions to Shopify Payments? 

2. Is it possible to migrate merchants who sell subscriptions processed by Stripe (off Shopify) to be powered by Stripe (on Shopify)? If so, how? 

3. Is it possible for merchants to enable Stripe to process new subscription sales?

Hi PaulVomberg,

No, yes and yes, in that order 😜

It's possible for merchants to enable Stripe as their primary gateway (in place of Shopify Payments) to sell new subscriptions in their Shopify Store. This is done in the merchant's Admin under Settings > Payments.

Following this guide, it's also possible for them to migrate existing contracts from a different commerce platform into their Shopify store, while continuing to charge them using the same payment method that was setup in Stripe when the contract was created.

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jerome
