Step by step
1. Setup a Supported Recurring Payment Gateway
To enable recurring subscription fees, your Shopify store must use a compatible payment gateway. Supported options include:
Shopify Payments (also supports Google Pay and Apple Pay)
Paypal Payflow Pro
Paypal Website Payments Pro (UK)
Stripe (only available to some merchants)
Note: These gateways enable automatic, regular billing. Learn more about Shopify payment gateway options here.
2. Enable "Classic" Customer Accounts
Log in to your Shopify admin
Go to Settings > Customer accounts
In the "Accounts in online store and checkout" section, click Edit
Under "Login experience," select "Show login link in the header of online store and at checkout"
In "Choose which version of customer accounts to use," select "Classic customer accounts"
Click Save
Note: For more details on customer accounts, check this Shopify article.
3. Enable Membership Checkout Validation
Go to Shopify admin > Settings > Checkout rules
Enable the "Membership Checkout Validation" rule
This prevents customers from checking out with more than one membership tier in their cart
