Recharge adds fixed amount discounts and editable accounts page
Table of contents: 2 sections
Recharge now supports fixed amount discounts for subscription plans including Subscribe & Save, prepaid plans, and bundles. Discounts apply at checkout, in the customer portal, and automatically convert across multiple currencies. Merchants managing different subscription types can now offer fixed dollar incentives instead of percentage-only discounts.
Fixed amount discounts for subscription types
The new discount capability applies to all subscription models Recharge handles: Subscribe & Save programs, prepaid subscription plans, and bundled subscriptions. A flat dollar discount makes more sense than a percentage reduction when you want to offer a consistent incentive across products at different price points.
At checkout, customers see the discount applied before they submit payment, clarifying the offer value. In the customer portal, subscribers can review and manage active discounts tied to their renewal orders without contacting support. Across international stores, multi-currency auto-conversion means a discount entered in one currency automatically adjusts to the equivalent value in others, eliminating manual rate calculations.
To verify the setup, check that fixed amount discounts render correctly in both the checkout cart and the subscriber account page for each subscription type your store runs. Test edge cases such as discounts larger than the subscription price to confirm the system handles them as expected.
Accounts page builder now supports full editing
The Affinity 2.0 Page Builder now allows direct editing of the customer accounts page, with control over layout and custom extensions without coding. Previous customization was limited to predefined options. Preview the changes before publishing to confirm custom elements display correctly to customers.
Recharge documents the change in its product updates site.
