        Recharge is a powerful and popular app that offers several recurring billing options and helps Shopify store owners grow the list of customers who subscribe to receive their products.

        By connecting Recharge with Yotpo SMS & Email, you will be able to send out the following flows:

        • (SMS & Email) Subscription Confirmation: Inform customers that they have successfully subscribed to recurring billing. Use a text message to let them know when their next payment is due.
        • (SMS & Email) Subscription Cancelled: Automate a quick SMS notification to confirm with customers that their subscription to recurring billing has officially been canceled and they will no longer be charged.
        • (SMS) Subscription Order Abandoned: Remind customers who’ve abandoned their subscription order to complete their checkout with the link provided in the automated text message.
        • (SMS & Email) Upcoming Charge Reminder: Notify customers of an upcoming payment — either on the day it is due or a specific number of days before payment is due.
        • (SMS) Product Upsell via keyword: Offer customers additional products they can purchase on a subscription base by texting back the {ADD} keyword.
        • (SMS) Skip a monthly payment via keyword: Provide customers with the option to skip a monthly delivery by replying with a simple {SKIP} keyword.
        • (SMS & Email) Declined Credit: Notify customers when there is an issue with their subscription payment, preventing it from going through.
