Topic summary
Main issue: Setting up product subscriptions on a Shopify store in Switzerland is difficult because leading subscription apps (Re‑Charge, Bold Subscriptions) require Shopify Payments, which is not available in Switzerland.
Proposed workaround: One participant offers a private app solution that can create subscription packages and integrate third‑party payment gateways for recurring payments, provided the gateway supports tokenization. Examples mentioned: Authorize.net and GoCardless (SEPA).
Key terms:
- Shopify Payments: Shopify’s native payment processor, required by some apps.
- Tokenization: Securely storing a payment “token” to enable future recurring charges without saving card details.
- SEPA: Single Euro Payments Area, enabling euro‑denominated bank transfers across participating countries.
Status: Multiple users request updates and further information; no confirmed implementation or resolution is reported in the thread.
Open questions:
- Which specific gateways reliably work in Switzerland with tokenization?
- Compliance and operational details of the private app approach.
- Any official Shopify-supported path for subscriptions without Shopify Payments.
