Shopify announced Stripe as an additional payment gateway for subscriptions

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Shopify has added Stripe as a payment gateway option for subscription services. However, this integration only applies to native Shopify subscription apps that use Shopify’s checkout system.

Key limitations:

  • Third-party subscription apps like Bold Subscriptions and ReCharge use their own checkout systems, so they cannot utilize this Stripe integration
  • These apps have confirmed they do not support the new Stripe option

Available solutions:

  • Merchants wanting to use Stripe for subscriptions need to migrate to native Shopify subscription apps (such as Loop Subscriptions)
  • Alternative apps like “Easy⇌Pie Shopify” also offer Stripe subscription support with multiple payment methods

The discussion remains open regarding implementation details and merchant experiences with the migration process.

Hi

Shopify announced Stripe as an additional payment gateway for subscriptions:

https://shopify.dev/changelog/stripe-as-additional-payment-gateway-for-subscriptions

What does it mean? How could I use it in my shop?

I have sent this link to Bold Subscriptions and ReCharge but they told me that they didn’t support Stripe.

Who can explain to me how to use the news about Stripe in my shop?

The announcement is relevant for the native subscription apps which uses Shopify checkouts. Since, bold and recharge uses their own checkouts, this is not relevant for them.

If you need to enable Stripe on your store, then you may consider migrating to native Shopify subscription apps like Loop Subscriptions.
