Pre-release. This guide applies when the Integrations hub is enabled for your ABConvert account. Connect only a Recharge store that belongs to the Shopify store in ABConvert.
Use Recharge when a checkout test affects a subscription offer or when you need subscription lifecycle and renewal outcomes alongside ABConvert test results. ABConvert validates the Recharge store, registers required webhooks, and queues a limited backfill.

​
Configure Recharge and ABConvert

1

Prepare Recharge credentials

Create the Recharge API token and client secret required by your Recharge account. Store them securely until you paste them into ABConvert. Do not share them in a test name, note, or support ticket.
2

Connect the matching store

In Integrations, open Recharge and paste the API token and client secret. ABConvert checks that the Recharge store matches your connected Shopify store before saving encrypted credentials.
3

Allow webhook registration and backfill

After connection, ABConvert registers or repairs its required Recharge webhook topics and queues a best-effort backfill. A successful connection confirms credential and registration health; it does not prove a subscription lifecycle event was delivered.
4

Verify a real lifecycle event

Use a safe subscription test flow. Confirm a signed Recharge lifecycle or charge event reaches ABConvert and is attributed to an eligible test before relying on renewal or churn reporting.

​
What Recharge integration covers

ABConvert processes subscription creation, activation, updates, pauses, cancellations, skips, paid charges, failed charges, and refunds when Recharge delivers a valid webhook. It can attribute subscription outcomes back to eligible checkout-test assignments. ABConvert reads Recharge plans already owned by your store for subscription offers. It does not create plans or change recurring prices for you.

​
Use cases

  • Measure subscription conversion: compare which test group creates or activates more subscriptions after a checkout-test exposure.
  • Measure renewal quality: compare paid renewals, failed charges, cancellations, and refunds by the originating test group.
  • Test an existing offer: offer a plan your store already owns, then use lifecycle outcomes to evaluate the checkout change.

​
Things to know

  • A connection health check is not lifecycle delivery proof. Verify a real signed vendor delivery in a safe test environment.
  • Backfill is limited to relevant subscription history after the earliest active checkout test. It is not a full import of every historical subscription or charge.
  • Test and repair can register missing webhook endpoints. Use it only when you intend to repair the current Recharge connection.
  • Disconnecting revokes stored credentials and attempts to remove ABConvert-managed Recharge webhooks. A provider-side deletion can fail, leaving an inactive endpoint that no longer accepts ABConvert ingestion.
