Recurly, a subscription growth platform, has expanded its investment in the Shopify ecosystem, culminating in Recurly Commerce being recognized as a Shopify Plus Technology Partner, a designation that validates its subscription solution for Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants. The designation was awarded after Shopify’s full review of security, performance, infrastructure, and product quality.
This move comes as ecommerce brands increasingly adopt recurring revenue models to enhance margins, improve customer lifetime value, and achieve more predictable growth. With rising acquisition costs and the financial challenges of single-transaction commerce, Shopify brands are prioritizing subscription programs for stronger retention.
Recurly Commerce addresses this market shift by offering a flexible, enterprise-ready subscription engine. It supports advanced use cases such as replenishment, memberships, mixed-cart subscriptions, prepaid programs, and both digital and physical goods.
Shopify merchants utilizing Recurly Commerce have reported positive results, with Recurly’s revenue recovery engine helping commerce brands recover over $5 million in otherwise lost revenue and contributing to $345 million in processed Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) over the past year. Recurly is also preparing to release its 2026 State of Subscriptions Report next month, which will offer data and insights for commerce strategies.
Jeff Barnes, Vice President of Affinity Partnerships at Moen, commented on their experience: “Moen is committed to helping homeowners protect their homes from in-home flooding by purchasing our leading leak detection device, the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff – but some homeowners have said that they would prefer to make low monthly payments instead of one upfront payment. For that reason, we created the ‘Moen Leak Protection Service™’ which allows homeowners to opt in to an affordable monthly payment plan at no additional cost, versus paying for the device entirely upfront. We partnered with Recurly Commerce to help us make it easy for all homeowners to enjoy this level of ongoing premium leak protection via a convenient monthly subscription – and it made all the difference!”
The Shopify Plus Technology Partner designation strengthens Recurly’s position within Shopify’s fast-growing commerce ecosystem. It reinforces the platform’s ability to provide trust, security, and scalability for brands. Upcoming features for Recurly Commerce include customizable bundles, launching later this quarter, which will allow Shopify merchants to offer flexible or fixed-price, shopper-curated subscription boxes. Early 2026 will see the introduction of next-generation payment recovery enhancements aimed at further strengthening retention and recurring revenue performance.
Jonas Flodh, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Recurly, stated, “Shopify brands are driving the next wave of subscription innovation. Being recognized as a Shopify Plus Technology Partner underscores the strength of our platform and our commitment to helping merchants grow recurring revenue with confidence and flexibility.”
