Recharge

Connect a Recharge store so Checkbox reads plans and subscription events, and check Recharge's notification emails and cancellation flow.

Recharge powers subscriptions on many Shopify stores. Checkbox reads your plans and store settings through the Recharge API and turns Recharge webhooks into lifecycle events (subscriptions created, charges, cancellations), which the reminder and cancellation checks use.

#Connect

1. Register the site with platform: "recharge":

curl https://app.checkbox.site/v1/sites \
  -u "$CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY:" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "url": "https://joybox-shop.example", "platform": "recharge" }'

import Checkbox from '@checkbox-site/cli';

const checkbox = new Checkbox(process.env.CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY);

const site = await checkbox.sites.create({ url: 'https://joybox-shop.example', platform: 'recharge' });
console.log(site.id);

import os
from checkbox import Checkbox

checkbox = Checkbox(os.environ["CHECKBOX_SECRET_KEY"])

site = checkbox.sites.create(url="https://joybox-shop.example", platform="recharge")
print(site["id"])

2. In Recharge, create an API token (Apps & integrations → API tokens) with read access to Store, Plans, Products, Subscriptions and Orders.
3. In the dashboard, open Site → Integrations → Recharge and paste the token as apiToken. Also paste the token's API Client Secret (on its Edit API Token page) as webhookClientSecret: Recharge signs webhooks with it, and without it Checkbox cannot verify deliveries, so it does not register webhooks.

#What to check

• Notification emails. Recharge sends the subscription confirmation and upcoming-charge emails. Check their templates with checkEmail and BCC them to the site's inbound address so the real sends are monitored.
• Upcoming-charge timing. Compare Recharge's "days before charge" with the windows from checkNoticeSchedule for your plans.
• Cancellation. The customer portal must let subscribers cancel online. If you require a cancellation reason or show a retention offer, keep a visible way to finish cancelling.
• Storefront. Your product and cart pages need the renewal disclosure and consent: see Shopify.
