LET'S DISCUSS
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.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
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.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
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.

Who it's for
Stores choosing between subscription apps
You're deciding between Skio, Recharge, and Shopify Subscriptions and want native Shopify checkout without losing customization options.
Stores wanting a custom subscriber portal
Skio's default portal and cancel flow don't match your brand or offer the save-flow logic you want.
Stores recovering failed subscription payments
You want Klaviyo-connected dunning with staged retries and targeted messaging instead of Skio's defaults.
Stores migrating from Recharge
You want to move subscribers to Skio without losing stored payment methods or forcing customers to re-enter cards.
Stores connecting subscriptions to a 3PL
You need Skio synced with your fulfillment or 3PL system beyond what the app configures out of the box.
Not a fit for
You're already happy with Recharge and just need it customized, not switched. Our Shopify Recharge Subscription Setup page covers that.
You need a subscription platform beyond Shopify, or a fully custom build. Our Ecommerce Subscription Platform Development page covers that.
You need WooCommerce subscriptions, not Shopify. Our WooCommerce Subscriptions Development page covers that.

How do I set up Skio on Shopify?
We configure Skio's native Shopify checkout integration, plan and pricing setup, and connect it to your theme, then test the full subscribe and manage flow before launch.
Skio, Recharge, or Shopify Subscriptions: how do I decide?
Skio fits growing brands wanting native Shopify checkout and hands-on onboarding, Recharge fits established stores wanting deep analytics, and Shopify Subscriptions fits simple subscribe-and-save with no added app cost.
How much does subscription app setup cost?
Skio setup and customization starts from $1,499, fixed scope after a project brief.
Can you migrate from Recharge to Skio or the reverse?
Yes, Skio uses your existing payment processor's API to reattach stored payment tokens, so subscribers don't need to re-enter card details, and you don't have to delete Recharge until the migration is confirmed.
Can you customize the subscriber portal and cancel flow?
Yes, we customize Skio's portal and cancel flow beyond its defaults, including save offers, skip and swap options, and branding to match your store.
How do subscriptions connect to Klaviyo and my 3PL?
Skio sends billing and subscription events to Klaviyo for automated messaging, and we connect it to your 3PL or fulfillment system so renewals trigger accurate shipments.
How do dunning and failed payment recovery get configured?
We set up staged retry phases, Skio recovers about 15% of failures automatically, then configure Klaviyo notifications with error-specific messaging for the rest, escalating to discount incentives in later phases.
How long does setup or migration take?
Most Skio setup or migration projects complete in 1 to 4 weeks depending on customization scope and catalog size.
