Recharge Subscriptions: the subscribe option on a product page, shown on The Honey Pot
Recharge is a subscription app for Shopify stores. Its listing shows 4.8 out of 5 from 3,146 reviews and a free trial. On The Honey Pot's Calming Intimate Wash page, a shopper chooses between a one-time purchase and a Subscribe and save 15% option, and the page code carries Recharge's own styling.

Where we saw it working
The Honey Pot is a feminine-care brand on Shopify. On its Calming Intimate Wash page, the product offers two choices: One time purchase, and Subscribe & save 15%. The top bar of the store carries the same 15% offer. The page code includes the styling variables Recharge's app uses, which is how we connect the choice to the app. We did not subscribe, and we did not see the account pages a subscriber would reach after a purchase.
What the reviews say
The listing carries an automatic summary of its reviews. Shopify generates that summary for apps with 100 or more reviews, and this one describes the app as reliable, praises its support and notes a mild learning curve on some features. The one-star reviews are the part to read in full, because they show where merchants have had trouble.
What to check before you install it
- Look at a product page on your own theme with the subscribe option switched on, on a phone as well as a desktop.
- Work out the fees on your own order sizes. The listing shows a percentage and a fixed charge per transaction, on top of the monthly plan.
- Read the one-star reviews on the listing before you commit to a paid plan.
What we could not confirm
We did not install the app, read a merchant's admin, or test a subscription from start to finish. Pricing and subscription terms may have changed since 28 October 2026.
Where to look
The listing is at apps.shopify.com/subscription-payments, and the store page is Calming Intimate Wash on thehoneypot.co. We read both on 28 October 2026, without installing the app, subscribing or contacting the developer or the store. The Honey Pot is also one of the fifty stores on The Shopify 50 page.
