Main issue: finding payment gateways that support both Shopify Subscription APIs (recurring billing) and Indian Rupees (INR).
Current update: Official Shopify documentation confirms Razorpay and PayU aren’t supported by Shopify Product Subscription APIs, ruling them out for INR subscriptions.
Possible option: Stripe supports INR and offers subscriptions, but its compatibility with Shopify’s Subscription APIs for INR transactions remains unverified and needs confirmation from Shopify.
App recommendation: Trust Subscriptions was suggested to manage subscriptions; however, its effectiveness depends on using a payment gateway that is compatible with Shopify’s Subscription APIs and INR.
Key terms: • Shopify Subscription APIs — tools to enable recurring purchases/billing on Shopify. • Payment gateway — service that processes customer payments. • INR — Indian Rupees.
Outcome: No definitive INR-compatible gateway identified for Shopify Subscriptions. The discussion remains open.
Next steps: Verify with Shopify whether Stripe (INR) is fully supported with Subscription APIs, and consult the official, current list of supported gateways for subscriptions and currencies.
Hi,
We have many clients in India (INR Currency) who are not able to use the Shopify Subscription APIs due to Currency support. Do you know what Payment Gateway options are available that support the Indian currency (INR) and Shopify Product Subscription APIs both?
Hi,
Unfortunately, as of now, there are some limitations regarding payment gateways that support both Shopify Subscriptions APIs and the Indian currency (INR). Many of the popular payment gateways that integrate with Shopify’s subscription APIs are not yet fully supported for INR transactions.
However, you can explore the following options that might help:
Razorpay – Razorpay is one of the most widely used payment gateways in India. While it does support recurring payments, it’s essential to check if it fully integrates with Shopify’s subscription API, as their compatibility can vary.
Stripe (with INR support) – Stripe does support INR as a currency and offers subscription billing, but it’s important to confirm with Shopify if their subscription APIs are fully supported in this case.
PayU – Another prominent payment gateway in India. It may offer recurring payment options but double-check if it’s compatible with the Shopify Subscription API.
Additionally, if you’re looking for a reliable app to help manage subscriptions, Trust Subscriptions could be a perfect fit. It’s designed to offer seamless subscription management for your Shopify store. Trust Subscriptions is feature-packed, and we are dedicated to providing the flexibility and support to merchnants.

I hope this helps!
As per the Shopify official documentation Razorpay and PayU are not supported by the Shopify Product Subscription APIs. So those can’t be used.
