Drop the stacked subscription tax.
Recharge is a powerful Shopify subscriptions layer. Checkivo replaces the fee stack with your own Stripe checkout — 0% Checkout setup, local European payments, and the same recurring engine for Subscribe & Save, rentals and memberships.

Own the checkout
One page on Stripe — trust, upsells and local methods in your flow.
Same Shopify store. A different fee stack — and a checkout you actually own.
Honest fit
Not every merchant should switch. Here’s the clean split.
Choose them if
- You want the deepest Shopify-native subscription CRM and are fine paying a % on every order inside Shopify Checkout.
- Your brand is US/UK-first on Shopify Payments and doesn’t need iDEAL, Bancontact or SEPA as the primary recurring path.
Choose Checkivo if
- You want one recurring stack for Subscribe & Save plus rentals, try-before-you-buy or memberships — without a second app tax.
- You sell in Europe and need local methods on the same checkout — with 0% Checkout setup.
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 Checkout setup 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.
