Europe’s recurring models — without the double cut.
Firmhouse is strong for European merchants who want subscriptions, rentals and try & buy inside Shopify. Checkivo covers the same commercial models — on your own Stripe checkout, without stacking Shopify’s platform fee on top of a revenue share.

Honest fit
Not every merchant should switch. Here’s the clean split.
Choose them if
- You want to stay fully inside native Shopify Checkout and accept Shopify + Firmhouse fees as the cost of that path.
- Your team already runs Mollie/Adyen workflows tightly coupled to Firmhouse’s Shopify-native path.
Choose Checkivo if
- You want rentals, try & buy and subscriptions on one engine — with a checkout you design and 0% Shopify platform fee.
- You care about conversion lift from a branded one-page flow, not only feature parity inside Shopify’s checkout.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does switching mean leaving Shopify?
No. Keep Shopify for your storefront, catalog and ops. Checkivo runs the checkout and recurring billing on Stripe.
Will I still pay Stripe processing?
Yes — processing is always there. What you drop is the Shopify platform fee and the subscription-app revenue cut on Checkivo checkouts.
How fast can we go live?
Most merchants install the Shopify app, connect Stripe, and launch a Checkivo checkout in days — not a quarter-long replatform.
