Billing operations

Subscription billing workflows

Implement the billing rules, retries, and edge cases your team needs — using Shopify-native subscriptions and the tools you already pay for, so the setup stays supportable after launch.

Plan rules that hold up after launch

Tiered plans, add-ons, discounts, promotional pricing, trial windows, proration on plan changes, and one-time charges — configured so the rules are obvious to the operators who have to support them, not just the person who built them.

Dunning and retry logic

Configure retry schedules, decline handling, customer notifications, pause-on-failure policies, and grace periods. We document what each case does so your team can adjust after launch without guessing.

Multi-currency and tax handling

Use Shopify Markets and your tax provider (Avalara, TaxJar, Shopify Tax) for currency conversion and tax calculation. We set up the config correctly and document the edge cases so VAT, GST, and regional payment methods don't break subscription renewals.

Shopify-native, not a second platform

Everything stays inside the Shopify admin and customer account. No shadow backend to maintain. Works with Flow, Functions, and the subscription app you pick (Shopify Subscriptions, Recharge, Skio, Awtomic, Stay.ai) rather than replacing it.

What we scope and implement

The workflows we help Shopify merchants configure and document so the team can support them afterwards.

Proration rules

Configure plan changes, upgrades, downgrades, and paused periods so the math is predictable for the operators handling edits.

Dunning and retries

Set up retry schedules, decline handling, and customer communications to recover failed payments without manual chasing.

Multi-currency via Shopify Markets

Use Shopify Markets for currency presentation and settlement, with documented edge cases for renewals.

Tax provider setup

Wire Shopify Tax, Avalara, or TaxJar correctly so VAT, GST, and sales tax don't break on renewal.

Usage- and tier-based plans

Configure plans that change by consumption, member count, or custom metrics — using Shopify Functions where appropriate.

Payment gateway review

Confirm the gateway, routing, and failover setup fit the subscription model and payment decline patterns you see.

How the work is scoped

Subscription billing lives inside Shopify — we set up the workflow, document the edge cases, and leave your team with something they can support without us in the room.
