The Problem
Clunky Portals and Risky Migrations Cost You Subscribers
Subscribers slip away in two quiet places: a portal where cancel is easier than skip, and an app switch that goes wrong. Both are fixable before launch.
01 · Portal logins
Your portal asks subscribers for a password they forgot.
Passwordless login puts skip, swap, and pause before cancel.
02 · Easy cancels
Cancel is the easiest button to find.
A save offer appears before a cancellation goes through.
03 · Card worries
You don't know whether saved cards and charge dates move.
Skio's migrations team links saved cards through your payment processor.
04 · Broken flows
Nobody owns rebuilding your Klaviyo flows and 3PL tags.
Klaviyo messages, 3PL tags, and discounts move with your subscribers.
Your current app works, but the portal asks subscribers for a password they forgot, and cancel is the easiest button to find. You've watched the Skio demo, and it looked better. Then the questions start: whether saved cards move, whether next charge dates shift, and who rebuilds the Klaviyo flows and 3PL tags. Nobody gives you a straight answer, so the switch keeps sliding to next quarter.
We start with a plan for the launch or the switch, not the install button. The app's own migrations team copies your subscriptions and links saved cards through your payment processor. We handle everything around the Skio app, Shopify theme widget, save offers, Klaviyo events, and 3PL checks. Then we compare records before and after, so nobody finds a problem on renewal day.
A portal built for staying
Passwordless login, skip, swap, and pause come before cancel, styled to match your store.
A switch you can check
Every migrated subscription is compared with your old app's records before billing moves.
Flows rebuilt, not dropped
Klaviyo messages, 3PL tags, and discounts move with your subscribers instead of breaking quietly.
Our Skio Setup Process
From App Review to Your First Renewal in Five Steps
You approve the setup plan, the cancel flow, and the migration date before anything changes. Your old app keeps billing until the new one is ready.
We review your plans, current app, portal, and cancel reasons. You get an honest answer on whether this app fits better than Recharge or Shopify Subscriptions, and what a switch involves.
What's Included
What You Get When You Sell Subscriptions With Shopify
Everything around the install that decides whether subscribers stay: the widget, the portal, save offers, messaging, and a switch you can verify.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from Shopify and store teams we have built for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture
Why Shopify Brands Trust Us With Their Subscriptions
A launch or switch touches checkout, billing, email, and shipping on the same day. These habits keep each of them working.
The switch date is planned
We pick a quiet weekday for the move and line up redirects, emails, and tags early. Your subscribers see a new portal, not a billing surprise.
Records checked on both sides
We compare subscriber counts, next charge dates, and prices before and after the migration. Any mismatch gets fixed before the first renewal.
Cancel offers from real reasons
We build save offers from your cancel reasons, not a generic discount. A subscriber who's overstocked gets a skip, not a coupon.
Klaviyo flows moved intact
Your reminders, card update emails, and win-backs get rebuilt on the new app's events. No flow goes silent after the switch.
Honest app advice
If Recharge or Shopify Subscriptions suits your plans better, we'll tell you before we quote. A switch should fix a real problem.
Your account, your settings
Your app account, theme code, and flows stay in your name. We document every setting so your team can change a plan without us.

Good fit
Brands switching from Recharge
You're moving from Recharge to Skio and want saved cards, next charge dates, and discounts to carry over cleanly.
Stores new to Shopify and subscriptions
You're new to Shopify and subscriptions, and you want the app set up right the first time.
Brands losing subscribers at cancel
Your subscribers cancel when they're overstocked or away, and you want the app to offer skip, swap, or pause first.
Teams running Klaviyo retention flows
Your retention runs on Klaviyo, and you need subscription events feeding reminders, card updates, and win-backs without gaps.
Agencies running client subscriptions
Your agency recommends this app to clients and needs a partner who handles setups and migrations under your brand.
Not a fit
Staying on Recharge
You're staying on Recharge and just want it customized. Shopify Recharge Subscription Setup covers that without a switch.
Logic no app offers
Your plans need logic no app offers, or your store isn't on Shopify. Ecommerce Subscription Platform Development builds that.
Store on WooCommerce
You sell on WooCommerce. Skio runs only on Shopify, so WooCommerce Subscriptions Development is the page for you.
A handful of subscribers
You have a handful of subscribers and one simple plan. Shopify Subscriptions is free and may cover you, so a $700 setup can wait.

Setup starts at $700 for plans, a styled widget, a branded portal, save offers, and Klaviyo events. A migration from Recharge or another app costs $1,650, and custom work like build-a-box starts at $3,300. The app's own monthly and transaction fees are separate. You get a fixed quote first.
A new setup takes 1 to 2 weeks, including test orders. A migration takes 2 to 4 weeks, because the app asks you to go live a day before the move and we check records on both sides. Custom builds on its API take 4 to 6 weeks.
You install the app from the Shopify App Store, create plans on your products, add the widget to your theme, and set up the portal. Then you connect Klaviyo, choose save offers, and place test orders. We handle each step and document the settings for your team.
Pick Shopify Subscriptions for simple subscribe and save at no app cost. Choose Skio for a fast, passwordless portal and multi-step cancel offers, or Recharge for a longer track record and BigCommerce support. We compare all three against your actual plans and budget before you pay anyone.
Yes, in both directions. Skio's migrations team copies subscriptions and links saved cards through your payment processor, so subscribers don't re-enter them. We plan the date, check the data preview, rebuild flows and redirects, and compare records afterward. A move back follows Recharge's own migration process.
Yes. Both are no-code in the app, so we brand them and build save offers around your real cancel reasons. Think a skip for overstocked subscribers, a swap for flavor fatigue, or a pause for travel. Where you need more, we add features through the API.
Subscription events go straight to Klaviyo, so your flows can trigger on renewals, skips, and cancellations. Renewals become normal Shopify orders, so your 3PL receives them like any other order. We check that tags, bundles, and prepaid shipments arrive the way your warehouse expects before launch.
You turn on the app's payment recovery, then decide how reminders reach subscribers. We time the emails or texts through Klaviyo, link them to a card update page, and set what happens after the last attempt. For deeper custom work, see Failed Payment Recovery and Dunning Management.
Every plan includes post-launch support: 30, 60, or 90 days by plan. We watch the first renewals, portal activity, and failed payments, and fix anything that misbehaves. You also get written notes on every setting, so your team can change plans or offers without us.
Not today. Recharge announced the acquisition in April 2026, and both apps keep running as separate products with their own teams. Your setup, portal, and subscriber data stay exactly as they are. We'll flag any product change that affects your plans when either company announces one.
