FAQs

Your pricing is higher than Recharge / Ordergroove.

Fair to compare. Recurly Commerce is priced around performance, not just access. Brands typically offset the platform cost through higher recovery rates, better retention, and fewer cancellations.

How do I migrate from Ordergroove to Recurly?

Migration is fully managed by a dedicated Recurly team — your data, subscribers, and billing logic move without disruption. Because Ordergroove merchants on Shopify already share the same underlying Shopify data model, the migration path is structurally simpler than moving from other platforms.

Is Ordergroove or Recurly better for Shopify merchants?

Ordergroove's platform architecture was built for multi-channel enterprise retailers, not Shopify-first DTC brands. Recurly Commerce is purpose-built for the environment you're already operating in, with native Shopify Checkout integration rather than a retrofitted one.

What's the difference between Ordergroove Frontier and Recurly's payment recovery?

Ordergroove's advanced retry customizations are still in closed alpha for most Shopify merchants. Recurly's payment recovery is built on ML infrastructure refined across 15+ years and billions of real transactions. Ask Ordergroove if Recovery Optimizer is live on your account today — or if you're on a waitlist.
