HOW TO OFFER SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH NON‑SUPPORTED PAYMENT GATEWAYS IN SHOPIFY
Memberply bridges the gap when Shopify can’t process recurring charges through your chosen gateway. Whether you’re a merchant in Turkey relying on PayTR or in India using Razorpay—both unsupported for subscriptions—Memberply turns a single annual payment into a full‑featured “subscription‑like” experience.
It does this by combining a:
1. One‑time payment membership tier where you can set the membership cost to be the cost for 1 year,
Then set an automatic benefit expiry so that benefits expire after 1 year,
Set an early‑bird renewal discount incentive such as 10% off for renewing early,
Enable renewal reminder emails that get sent to the member with a link straight back to the checkout page for that membership product with the discount already pre‑applied.
Member Journey
Purchases the “Annual Membership” once.
Enjoys perks for 12 months.
Receives 3 friendly nudges with direct checkout links to purchase the product again.
Clicks any email, sees the discount already applied, pays once more, and the cycle restarts.
By coordinating these four features, Memberply effectively mimics a subscription model—even if your payment gateway is not supported for subscription payments through Shopify.
