Frequently Asked Questions
Simple answers for Shopify merchants choosing a subscription app.
Does PayWhirl use Shopify checkout?
Yes. PayWhirl uses Shopify selling plans and works with Shopify checkout, so customers can buy subscriptions and one-time products through the familiar Shopify checkout flow.
What types of subscriptions can I sell?
You can sell subscribe-and-save offers, prepaid subscriptions, fixed-cycle plans, gift subscriptions, memberships, subscription boxes, custom billing intervals, trials, and recurring plans for physical or digital products.
Can customers manage subscriptions themselves?
Yes. When enabled, customers can skip, pause, cancel, reschedule, update payment methods, change addresses, edit products, and manage subscription details from Shopify customer accounts or classic accounts.
Can PayWhirl help me migrate from another subscription app?
Yes. PayWhirl helps Shopify merchants plan supported migrations from apps like Recharge, Appstle, Bold, Seal, and others. Migration help is included at no separate charge and can cover active subscriptions, selling plans, launch timing, and supported customer payment methods.
Will customers need to resubscribe after a migration?
In many supported migrations, PayWhirl can import and map customer payment methods so active subscribers do not need to resubscribe. The exact path depends on your current app, payment provider, Shopify setup, and available data.
How does PayWhirl pricing work?
PayWhirl is free to install and includes 0% PayWhirl transaction fees on your first $5,000 processed. After that, the free plan uses a 3% transaction fee, or you can upgrade to paid plans with lower fees and deeper tools like workflows, integrations, APIs, and priority support.
Which payment gateways does PayWhirl support?
PayWhirl works with Shopify subscription-capable gateways, including Shopify Payments, Authorize.net, PayPal, and Shop Pay. Stripe availability depends on the merchant and Shopify setup.
Can PayWhirl match my Shopify theme and brand?
Yes. PayWhirl includes Shopify app block setup, subscription widget customization, customer portal styling options, email template controls on paid plans, translations, and custom CSS options for stores that need more control.
What happens when a subscription payment fails?
PayWhirl includes payment retries, dunning tools, customer notifications, and failed-payment actions. On higher plans, workflows can react to subscription events with tags, product swaps, gifts, discounts, and other automations.
What kind of support is included?
PayWhirl offers Shopify-specific documentation, tutorial videos, email support, chat support during support hours, and phone support. The team helps with setup, selling plans, customer accounts, failed payments, workflows, migrations, and launch questions.
