This guide provides instructions on how to enable or disable the subscription widget from your storefront.

For more information on the subscription widget, how to modify it, and a video on the topic visit Modifying the Subscription Widget. 

Before you start

Disabling ReCharge using this guide will only hide the subscription widget and subscription option from your storefront. If you need to stop recurring billing for your customers or need to uninstall ReCharge, reach out to the Support team.

Subscription Widget in action

The Subscription Widget is used on your product page to make it easy for customers to sign-up for a subscription. Depending on your store settings, customers can select between Subscribe and Save and one-time purchase or select their billing and shipping frequency. Here's what it looks like in a Shopify store.

The subscription widget looks a little different on BigCommerce, but has identical functionality. 

Preview the subscription widget

Before you make subscriptions live and publish the subscription widget, you can preview it first. Take a look at Preview the Subscription Widget on your storefront for instructions and more information.

Publish or unpublish the ReCharge subscription widget

To publish or unpublish the Subscription Widget, go to the Recharge Dashboard. From here, click on the wrench icon in the right-hand corner and select Subscription Widget.

Once on the Subscription Widget page, click Publish the subscription widget or Unpublish the subscription widget depending on your intended action.

If for any reason you find this does not work for you, this may be because you have an older version of the app. Reach out to us and we can sort this out for you.
